EUR/USD Sentiment
- The Irish government seems to have lost support to pass the plan – putting a big doubt over the feasibility of the bailout plan.
- It’s also important to note headlines from Portugal, which is already marked as the next domino.
- North Korea fired shells at the south. This also weighs on the Euro – risk aversion.
- Chinese hike of the reserve requirement doesn’t have an impact on the Euro. A hike in the Chinese interest rate is what’s needed to take the Euro down.
- An upwards revision of US GDP will boost the US dollar.
