Being Long Euros is Lonely

img Forexsq.com - Owning the single currency is not making anyone wealthy at the moment, not even after China lent her mighty support to the beleaguered currency by teasing us with potential investment support yesterday. Chinese policy makers are waiting for the appropriate time to invest in EUR’s as a reserve currency and that time is when European officials can produce innovative instruments with better return profiles. The ongoing nervousness about Greece has the EUR extending its losses again during the European session.

The currency has slipped below the psychologically significant +EUR1.30 handle outright, as confusion about Greece’s bailout package details are shaking the already fragile investors raw nerves. Rating agencies cannot be omitted from the ongoing saga equation. Moody’s putting 114 Euro financial institutions on notice for potential downgrade is adding to the anti-EUR tone. Greek offering of further cuts and savings in its budget and letters of commitment from two of the three main parties is not reassuring anyone. In fact, the Hellenic plea for more aid has stirred recrimination on both sides of the euro economic divide.
