  Written by Boris Schlossberg
  Last updated 10/28/2011 5:27:38 AM ET
  A very quiet night on the currency market as consolidation is the theme of the day in the wake of more than 200 point post EU Summit rally in the EUR/USD yesterday. Focus now turns to China with the head of the EFSF now in Asia in order to solicit capital for the fund.

  Last updated 10/27/2011 5:27:30 AM ET
  Risk assets staged a strong rally in the wake of a deal at the EU summit, with EUR/USD rising above the 1.4000 level for the first time in seven weeks. EU officials announced that they reached a private sector agreement on the issue of haircuts for Greek sovereign bonds. Private sector holders will take a 50% write down on their holdings, allowing Greece to reduce its debt burden. Greece will be able to reduce its public debt to 120% of GDP by 2020 and will also receive up to $100 Billion euros from a new EU/IMF finance program.

  Very muted trade in Asian and early European dealing tonight as traders awaited the resolution of the EU summit later in the global day. EUR/USD remained bid above the 1.3900 figure but was capped at 1.3950 as markets received no progress update and remained in a holding pattern ahead of the key event.
