  • Banking continues to recover, but slowly
  • Consumer credit demand sluggish
  • Lenders are tightening standards

Bobbys Corner-Open Market-June.30.2010

bob-slade-forex-trading-4-150x200Good Morning:

The Euro was stronger overnight as the ECB said it will lend EU banks 131.9 Bil euros for 3 months.  Last year the ECB lent EU banks 442 Bil euros to combat the financial crisis.  These loans are to be repaid tomorrow-which is why the ECB has initiated a new loan program.  The demand for fresh cash was less than expected, which may be a sign that the financial industry may be stronger in the EU than originally expected.
