The euro weakened to a 16-month low versus the dollar and dropped for the first time in three days against the yen amid speculation France’s credit rating may be downgraded and Europe’s sovereign debt crisis will worsen. The shared currency declined against 14 of its 16 most- traded peers even after French Finance Minister Francois Baroin denied having been notified by a ratings company that the nation’s top rating will be cut. The euro extended losses as leading members of the European Parliament objected to a planned German-led euro fiscal treaty.

Leading the Dow's decliners were energy and consumer-staple stocks. Coca-Cola dropped 2.1% and Chevron lost 1%. Telecommunications and materials limited some of the losses.

The precious metal broke above its 200-day moving average Tuesday (at 1635 currently) and then earlier Wednesday took out the twin peaks from Dec 14/Dec 21 around $1641-1641.50, but saw little followthrough so far. CitiFX technicals say a close above the 200-day "would add to the bullish bias and open the way for the trend resistance at 1698 in the near term, followed by $1802.(Nov 8 high at $1802.60). They maintain their longer-term view that gold will move to new trend highs "over time and ultimately towards the $2400 target later this year."

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
