Euro Falls Versus Dollar, Yen Before EU Ministers Meet on Greece Financing
Dated Posted: 2011-06-23
The euro weakened against most of its major counterparts before European leaders begin a two-day summit in Brussels today to discuss Greece’s financing needs as the nation struggles to stave off default.
The single currency fell for a second day against the dollar on speculation Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou will face difficulty in getting parliamentary approval next week for a package of budget cuts and asset sales. The dollar strengthened for a second day versus the yen after the Federal Reserve damped speculation of additional stimulus at a policy meeting yesterday.
“The euro isn’t a currency that you can buy now,” said Daisuke Karakama, a market economist in Tokyo at Mizuho Corporate Bank Ltd., a unit of Japan’s third-biggest financial group by market value. “Unless Greece is able to proceed with fiscal reform at a speed the world has never seen before, additional loans will just delay a default.”
The euro dropped to $1.4306 as of 10:17 a.m. in Tokyo from $1.4357 in New York yesterday, when it declined 0.4 percent. The currency traded at 115.31 yen from 115.28 yen. The dollar advanced 0.4 percent to 80.61 yen.
European finance chiefs will decide on July 3 whether Greece has met conditions for the next aid payment. Investors are watching to see if the ministers will clear the payment or prolong the uncertainty in a bid to increase pressure on the country’s lawmakers.
