Currency Updates:
The euro (EUR) dropped below 1.3000, and is currently at 1.2995 versus the US dollar (USD) as European markets open. Investors are weary of political developments in Europe as Eurogroup members meet today. The Italian election and the hung parliament result means that Europe’s largest debtor country will be without government for some time. A new vote may be possible if a compromise is not found. In other news we expect Spanish unemployment to rise further in a country where unemployment has reached 26.6%. These developments may put further pressure on the euro as the European indebted periphery looks far from growth.
- WTI Crude (OIL) dropped to 90.36, a two month low, as it consolidates earlier gains and moves into completing a two year pennant formation.
- The US 500 (SPI), which tracks the top 500 US corporations, dropped to 1507, after touching 1518, in an indication that the Bullish sentiment may continue in US stocks.
- Weekly option volatilities for the EURUSD rose slightly from 10.80 to 11.15 as investors’ fear returns and option premiums rise.
