EUR
Discuss EUR in this thread
not selling either as I suppose there Fridays join Eurozone gov's unanimous decision will get it back up to 13270 and then once they get their first payment from IMF it can take it further up.
Further exports are declining again, retail sale will give clearer picture end of second quarter(from mostly summer sales) about the real inventory, spending and purchase cost scale. Interest rate will remain constant this year which i can be certain of while i suspect ECB and BOE to raise 25bp close to the end of 3rd quarter. Political out of the election in UK will not hinder much GBP's rise back up to 160 within this year.
But certainly the recent Greece crisis did make dollar haters focus their balance of attention off US and on to euro. Even this will not carry on for long as note circulation for euro usually gets it back up in demand automatically.
Previous uptrend lasted about 7 months.
GBP/USD is not that different actually, except for the sharp rally in W13/14.
