• Europ Rally Fizzles as ECB Wavers
  Written by Boris Schlossberg
  Last updated 11/14/2011 5:10:03 AM ET
  Euro popped at the start of the Asian open rising to a high of 1.3800 after Italy and Greece saw a change of leadership over the weekend welcoming the more technocratic governments of Lucas Papandremous and Mario Monti. Currency markets were hope fullful that Mr. Papandremous and Mr. Monti would begin to institute proper budgetary reforms to pacify the credit markets. However, any type of fiscal reforms are likely to take some time to put in place and may face very stiff opposition from populations that are already suffering from serious economic hardship and the EUR/USD quickly lost steam as initial enthusiasm faded taking the pair below 1.3700 in mid morning European dealing .

• Will ECB Follow the Tactics of SNB?

  With new technocratic governments taking the reigns of leadership in both Italy and Greece the EUR/USD was higher at the start of week’s trade as markets speculated that both Mr. Papandremous and Mr. Monti would begin to institute proper budgetary reforms to pacify the credit markets. However, any type of fiscal reforms are likely to take some time to put in place and may face very stiff opposition from populations that are already suffering from serious economic hardship. That’s why many market analysts believe that the ECB is the only institution in Europe that can stabilize region's credit markets in the short term.

• Is EUR/USD Primed For Bounce?
  Written by Boris Schlossberg
  Last updated 11/11/2011 6:30:21 AM ET
  Risk was better bid on the last trading day of the week as EZ credit markets settled down with the yield on the benchmark 10 year Italian bonds quoted well below the key 7% level. News that both Greece and Italy would get new governments instilled a measure of confidence in to the markets as traders speculated that both peripheral economies would now see more professional technocratic leadership at the helm.

  Written by Kathy Lien

  Today has been a day of recovery in the financial markets. Currencies and equities rebounded while bond yields in Italy retreated, providing some relief to a market that could have easily gone into panic mode if Italian bond yields continued to rise. Thankfully Italy was able to attract enough buyers for today’s bond auction, showing that investors have not abandoned the country completely.

  The EUR/USD dropped through the key 1.3500 level in late Asian trade before staging a bounce as concerns about Italy continued to weigh on the unit. The single currency saw a wave of selling that knocked out the key psychological barrier just before the start of European session before rebounding sharply on short covering and news that Silvio Berlusconi will resign by Sunday.
