Greece’s Fate in the Balance
Last week’s currency trading review
The EUR/USD is dominating the currency market and the headlines lately with political deadlock in Greece and a new push from the left to spend more money and focus on Growth rather than debt. The Greece political talks post elections are still continuing and as of writing no breakthrough seems likely. If Greece is set to leave the Eurozone than the potential contagion risk will pressure the EUR/USD and global stocks until a clear result is seen.
EUR/USD was down -1.26% currently at 1.2918, after opening the week at 1.3081.
USD/JPY was up flat currently at 79.92, after opening at 79.86.
GBP/USD is down -0.55% currently at 1.6066 after opening at 1.6154
AUD/USD is down -1.57% currently at 1.0018 after opening at 1.0175.
