EUR/USD Sentiment
- Irish budget passes slowly – the coalition has a clear majority. This was widely expected.
- Spanish bonds yields rise again, as Trichet’s bond buying program is rather limited.
- US Treasury yields are on the rise after the tax cut deal between Obama and the Republicans. This helps the US dollar.
