On Friday, the euro, pound and Australian dollar managed to increase their recent highs. Across the Atlantic, Wall Street also managed to maintain their momentum, closing the week with a positive performance. While investors are still looking more cynical financial situation of Europe and point to unresolved problems, some investors are benefiting from the improvement in stock market values. The argument that trade short-term versus long-term trade is far from negligible and, for now, who were willing to take risks in the short term were able to make a profit. While still are several questions that could not be answered and the results are unclear future, starting commercial operations this week, risk appetite will remain at the forefront and will test the different ranges.


Europe remains the focus of attention for investors globally. The European Union did a good job in trying to provide its member nations a degree of stability, which undoubtedly deepened the confidence of operators in the short term. However, a lot of money on the sidelines because investors expect the results to be announced next week, after the planned summit between EU officials. In this regard, we note that promised a comprehensive plan to ease the fiscal woes of banks and fears of liquidity problems among financial institutions. Whether it succeeds or not, is still dealing with a fundamental axis, while the operators were able to increase their risk appetite in recent trading sessions, remains to be seen how they unfold along this week.

Steffen Seibert, German government spokesman, the expectations put in place stating that the leaders of the EMU will not solve the crisis quickly at the meeting on Sunday 23. That was enough to sink the wishful expectations that the market remained from days ago and had been holding the bags.

The head of the Chicago Fed, Charles Evans, who calls for more measures to fight a "huge" gap in employment, said: "If we sit on our hands as the economics of the cross in relation to our mandate, then could be a great success for our credibility. "

Jeffrey addition of the Richmond Fed Lacker considers that other measures would only cause inflation, because "the strength of this recovery will be relatively independent of our monetary policy decisions." Today the Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, is expected to deliver his point of view of view.
