The negative results of the auctions on Italy’s and Spanish bonds pressured the Euro currency.
Asian and European trading sessions:
Euro: Today's focus of the market participants turned towards upcoming EU summit which is scheduled on June 28-29.On this summit the participants will discuss the possible revision of the conditions for providing financial aid to Greece as well as the situation with the debt crisis in the Euro region. The Euro currency traded near the lows of 1.2510 against the U.S. dollar during the Asian session amid fears that the EU summit will not be able to solve the problems associated with the debt crisis in the EU due to the disagreements between France, Italy and Germany on issuing the Eurobonds. On the European session the euro fell against the major currencies against the backdrop of disappointing results of the auctions of government bonds of Spain and Italy. As a result, Spain attracted 3.077 billion Euros at the target plans of 2-3 billion Euros. The disappointed facts were the decreasing demand for bonds and increasing average return on the releases (yield). The analysts suggested that this result was caused partly by the last night decision of the Moody's rating agency to lower the credit rating of 28 Spanish banks, including giants such as Santander and BBVA, and than their (Spanish banks) official request for financial aid. In details, the Moody’s lowered by 1-4 stages the long-term ratings on debt and deposits. Italy also had a negative outcome on auctions and attracting 916 million Euros in the plans 0.5 - 1 billion Euros.
