Indeed, the German politicians are still against of purchases of sovereign bonds. As the result, the EUR / USD pair fell to $ 1.2342 area. The Euro grew on Tuesday due to the published information that the German’s government approved on Monday a proposal of the ECB President Mr.Mario Draghi regarding the purchases of Spain and Italy bonds in order to reduce their level of profitability. Another push up that the single currency got this day occurred after the publication of the result of report for Italian GDP in 2d Quarter of 2012 year in yearly term showed that the economy of Italy fell less than it was expected by economists. The Euro continued to rise ignoring the negative results of Germany’s factory orders report.

Toward the close of the week the EUR / USD pair declined by 0.9%.
US Dollar: On Monday and Tuesday, the dollar was trading at its lows against most of its competitors on the background of positive dynamics of stock indices, which continued to support the tendency of market participants to take risks. All this positive sentiment was coming on hopes of market participants about the ECB steps in taking appropriate measures that will cope with the current debt crisis. However, on the publication of the results of the quarterly report of inflation in Britain by the Bank of England, the dollar got support and rose sharply. In connection with this, most of all currencies which trades in pair with the U.S. dollar updated their daily lows and continued to decline. The greenback continued to grow on Thursday, on the information that the central banks postponed announce of the new stimulus measures for economy growth.

The GBP / USD pair fell to $ 1.5545 level during the European session yet later was able to recover. On Wednesday, after the report of inflation in Britain was published the pair, after testing the $1.5571 level, its daily low strengthened up. The less negative tone while announcing the inflation report, where it was noted that the official data of results of the growth of the gross domestic product exaggerated the underlying weakness of the British economy provided significant support for the currency. The pound grew sharply against all its competitors after the governor of the Bank of England Governor Mr. Mervyn King expressed less concern than it was expected by the markets and signaled that the reduction in interest rates did not significantly change the British economy outlook.
Japanese Yen: On expectations that the BOJ will not undertake any significant changes in the monetary policy at the meeting on August 8-9, the Yen continued to be kept at high levels against most world currencies. Many analysts predicted that the Bank of Japan will leave unchanged its benchmark interest rate and the amount of incentive programs at the same level in August. The yen weakened after the Bank of Japan left unchanged at the level of 0,0-0,1 % and confirmed the estimates for the country's economy, however, reduced the outlook for exports and industrial production. Also, the Bank of Japan kept its fund asset purchases of $ 45 trillion yen and lending funds of 25 trillion yen.
