Euro Rises Before ECB Meeting, But Rally May Be Short-Lived

  December 01st, 2010 at 12:09

EuroThe euro rose today as the Governing Council of the European Central Bank will meet tomorrow and may find solution to the continuing problem with the sovereign-debt in Europe.

The President of the ECB Jean-Claude Trichet hasn’t ruled out the possibility of increasing government bonds buying, though he remains reluctant to do so. The Stoxx Europe 600 index of stocks gained 0.7 percent. Despite today’s gains the analysts remain pessimistic about the shared European currency and consider the rally to be short-lived.

EUR/USD went up from 1.2981 to 1.3068 as of 10:09 GMT today. EUR/JPY jumped from 108.64 to 109.47.

    As for the euro’s future it raises temporarily due to the bond buying program. We saw the market dynamic, last month’s high was 1.4281, and according to the technical analysis it may reach 1.3990 till the end of the year. But as for the fundamentals the euro is still in problematic situation as Euro zone Banking system is not stable. On the other hand, according to Jean Claude Trichet’s speech, the euro zone countries recovery is not lagging compared to the US and Japan economy recovery.
