The dollar fell against most of its 16 major counterparts after opinion polls in Greece showed voters warming to parties supporting the European Union’s bailout, easing concern the country will exit the currency bloc. New Democracy, which supports the plan negotiated by Greece’s government with international lenders, placed first in all six opinion polls published on May 26 as campaigning continued for next month’s general election. The party led by a margin of as much as 5.7 percentage points over Syriza, the main party opposed to implementing the terms of financial aid packages, according to a poll by Kapa Research SA for To Vima newspaper.

The 17-nation euro rebounded from the lowest since July 2010 after data showed trader bets on a decline in the euro reached a record high. A final reading will probably confirm that consumer confidence in the euro area was at minus 19.3 in May, little changed from minus 19.9 in the previous month, according to economist estimates in a Bloomberg News survey before the figures are released May 30. The unemployment rate climbed to 11 percent in April, the highest in data compiled by Bloomberg going back to 1990, economist forecasts in a separate poll showed before the June 1 report.

Spain plans to inject public debt instead of cash directly into the Bankia Group to pay for the bank’s recapitalization and avoid having to go to market with the instruments, El Pais reported yesterday, without citing anyone.

Until now, to pay for bank bailouts, the state would sell debt in the market through its bank rescue fund and use the cash to aid banks. A jump in yields has made debt sales more difficult and expensive, El Pais said.

U.S. financial markets are shut today for the Memorial Day national holiday.


EUR/USD: during the Asian session the pair gain to $1.2600.

GBP/USD: during the Asian session the pair rose above $1.5700.

USD/JPY: during the Asian session the pair fell come nearer to a last week’s low.

Forex: Week’s review

 

On Monday the yen declined on speculation the Bank of Japan will add to stimulus measures this week to support growth and weaken the nation’s foreign-exchange rates. Japan’s currency slid as speculation European officials may step up efforts to tackle the debt crisis damped demand for haven assets. The euro erased losses against the dollar as German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Germany and France will do “everything necessary” to keep Greece in the shared currency.

On Tuesday the yen weakened the most in a month against the dollar after Fitch Ratings cut Japan’s credit ranking, saying the nation isn’t acting quickly enough to tackle its public debt burden. Fitch lowered Japan’s long-term, foreign-currency ranking to A+ from AA, and cut the local-currency grade to A+ from AA-, the company said in a statement. The euro dropped toward a four-month low against the greenback after the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said Europe’s debt crisis risks spiraling.

On Wednesday the euro fell to its weakest level against the dollar since July 2010 on speculation a summit of European Union leaders will provide no new measures to stem the sovereign-debt crisis. The shared currency extended losses after dropping below 100 yen for the first time since February and weakening to less than $1.26, price levels where traders who follow technical analysis said sell orders were clustered.

On Thursday the euro fluctuated against the dollar after touching the weakest level since July 2010 as German manufacturing data dropped and traders speculated measures may be taken to relieve the bloc’s debt crisis. A German index based on a survey of purchasing managers in the manufacturing industry declined to 45 this month from 46.2 in April, Markit Economics said.

The Swiss franc weakened to its lowest level in two months against the euro amid speculation the central bank may take action to discourage investment in the nation through taxing deposits.

On Friday the euro touched its lowest level since July 2010 against the dollar amid concern Spain’s regional governments may lose access to capital markets. The shared currency erased earlier gains against the dollar and yen after Catalan President Artur Mas repeated his call for Spanish central government to help regions access funding and remained lower after Standard & Poor’s cut the credit ratings of five Spanish banks.
