European session: the euro fell

The euro fell against the dollar amid rising peripheral bond yields and weak retail sales data.

At today's auction has placed Spain 3 -, 7 - and 10-year bonds in the amount of € 4.25 billion from € 4.50 billion planned yield on 3-year securities was 3.390%, and 7-year - 4.669%, 10-year - 5.29%. The results were quite good, although after sales yield on 10-year bonds showed growth.

Eurozone retail sales fell more than expected in October on the back of weak performance in Spain, particularly in Germany, as reflected seasonally weighted Eurostat report. The index fell by 1.2% m / m and 3.6% y / y and was 1.6% lower than the average of Q3, which was restored by 0.1% after falling 0.8% in Q2. The sale of food, beverages and tobacco products fell by 0.8% in October, excluding food - by 1.4% after falling 1.1% in September.

The business activity of the private sector eurozone declined again in November, but less than in the previous month, and less than that reported previously. This was evidenced by the survey of purchasing managers by Markit Economics, published on Wednesday. Reported Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for the euro zone service sector in November rose to 46.7 against 46.0 in October and 45.7 preliminary estimate published last month.

The British pound is trading steadily against the dollar, not reacting to the disappointing data for the services sector, which indicate that in the 4th quarter the economy could once again showed a fall after she had just barely escaped the recession.

The Australian dollar was trading above $ 1.0400, as the data that established the slowing of the Australian economy in the 3rd quarter was not enough to create significant pressure on the Australian dollar. Last quarter, growth in the Australian economy slowed amid falling domestic demand, the value of which reached 2.5-year low, and reducing government spending, which has forced the Central Bank of the country previously to lower interest rates. In annual terms, Australia's GDP rose 3.1% from a revised 3.8% the previous figure, as shown by the Bureau of Statistics released today in Sydney. The result coincided with analysts' forecasts. In the quarterly equivalent of the rise was 0.5% versus 0.6% in the previous period.
