Forex Crunches for the Weekend

After a long week that saw new dramas in Europe, the markets are now closed, and perhaps this weekend will be calmer. It’s now time to sit back and enjoy some long term forex related articles. Enjoy!

Negotiations in Greece continue, and Germany faces regional elections, so there is still is some risk for another weekend gap, but perhaps less significant than we had now.
