Analysis and Recommendations:

The EUR/USD is trading at 1.3022 falling a bit more today as the US dollar picked up some momentum as traders began to move past last week’s stimulus from the Feds and started dealing with eco and fundamental data.

Worries continue to grow over Spain.

There were no top tier European data releases today, but tomorrow’s PMIs will be important as they will prove the most up to date release from the European economies. Over the last 2 months significant progress has been made on bank solvency and the risk of an EMU breakup; however most European economies are either in or moving towards recession, leaving the growth outlook as the most important risk for Europe and EUR.

Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann suggested that central banks that move towards printing money are creating short term room to maneuver while likely doing long-term damage in the form of inflation. While there is still substantial focus on if and when Spain will come to an aid request and how the terms will be structured. Most expect this to come after the September 28th reform date.
