Also, there were many macroeconomic reports that came out with negative results: the report on the index of economic sentiment fell to 87.9 in July from 89.9 a month earlier, the Industrial confidence fell to -15 in July from -12.8 the previous month. On Tuesday, the Euro also rose against many other traded currencies in anticipation of the positive result of ECB meeting, on August 2. The single currency continued to rise on Wednesday after the speech of the Prime Minister of Italy, Mario Monti who stated in an interview with an Italian radio station that he saw “the light which began to dawn at the end of the tunnel and Italy and the rest of Europe on the path to it”. The EUR / USD pair grew to the level of $1.2335 during the beginning of the European session. The news of downgrading the long-term sovereign credit rating of Cyprus from 'BB +' to ' BB' and placing it on CreditWatch with possible further downgrade by Standard & Poor's international rating agency provoked a negative reaction of the markets and the Euro currency came under pressure.

After the announcement of the ECB decision on interest rates, which remained at the same level, the EUR / USD pair surged to the new highs of $1.2402 yet fell in a deep downtrend due to the fact that the ECB refrained from declaring the new measures for stimulating the Euro zone economy.

The EUR / USD pair fell into the $1.2133 area, however, on Friday gain back all its previously taken positions and rose above the $1.2300 area.

The GBP / USD pair approached to $ 1.5671 level. There was also a report that revealed that the house prices fell for the first time this year and probably will decline further as the recession obstructs demand for buying homes. The currency continued to fall against almost all major currencies on Tuesday after the rating agency Moody’s downgraded the outlook for UK economy. In addition, the Consumer Confidence report which has been published previously showed that the UK industry stuck this month due to the fact that the recession got worse.
