Analysis and Recommendations:

The EUR/GBP continued to weaken falling to 0.7788. Even as the UK is about to re enter a recession and the pound is fairly week, the euro remains weaker.

With problems in Greece continuing and the IMF terminating funding to Greece and the Troika today reviewing Greece’s attempts at austerity, there is more and more evidence that Greece will lose its funding.

Spain has now stepped forward and requested a full scale bailout, but markets are not sure the total value or where the funds will come from. This also means that Italy will be right behind to follow suit.

The euro has no support and continues to reach record lows.
