Another Day, Another New Correction Low For EUR/USD
Sunrise Market Commentary
- Fixed Income: Hunt for yield
- Following horrible French and German PMI readings, core bonds set new highs. The German 10-yr yield set an all time low at 1.35% and this initiated for the first time a “hunt for yield” trade into Belgian, Austrian and French bonds. The trade was most visible at the longer end of the curve, resulting in a bull flattening.
- Currencies: Another day, another new correction low for EUR/USD
- On Thursday, the decline of EUR/USD was extended. However, given the flood of negative news, the damage could have been worse. EUR/GBP struggles to hold above the 0.8000 barrier. Today, the calendar is thin. However, one can expect investors to stay cautious going into a long weekend. This is no help for the euro

German Data Leads to Additional Euro Losses
Disappointing German data sent the euro to fresh lows against the USD during European trading yesterday. In a sign that even the euro-zone's biggest economy was not immune from the region's debt crisis, the German Flash Manufacturing PMI and Ifo Business Climate both came in significantly below expectations. As a result, the EUR/USD dropped as low as 1.2515, close to a two-year low. As we close out the week, traders will want to continue monitoring any developments out of the euro-zone. Any new negative developments could send the common currency below $1.2500 before markets close for the week.

Euro Remains Under Pressure
The euro (EUR) dropped to a two year low falling to 1.2515 from 1.2619 against the US dollar as uncertainty in the market grows. The single currency is under pressure as investors are worried about a problematic banking sector in the eurozone and a messy Greek exit from the euro. Economic figures from Germany further weighed on sentiment after German manufacturing data was weaker than expected. Failure by EU leaders to take decisive steps to tackle the eurozone debt crisis has curbed risk appetite, while growth in the region appears to be deteriorating. Against the Swiss franc, the single currency spiked higher to 1.2075 on rumors that the Swiss National Bank will impose a tax on deposits.
The US dollar (USD) strengthened against a basket of currencies as heightened risk aversion in the ...

Stocks eke out gains, euro falls
(Reuters) - Global stocks eked out gains on Thursday while the euro fell as data suggested Europe's debt woes were spreading and worsening a global economic slowdown, adding to investor concerns about Greece's possible exit from the euro zone.
In a volatile session, investors looking for bargains initially bought equities, oil and gold, which have been beaten down this week by worries a Greece exit would deepen the euro zone debt crisis.
The appetite for growth-oriented assets faded as fears about the euro zone's drag on the world economy returned. Then for a second straight day, a wave of buying emerged shortly before Wall Street's close.
"The market has pulled back far enough that people are trying to assess if we've priced the worst of what's known. But with the problems in Europe ...
