The USD and JPY rose as investors seek out safe haven assets as the European debt crisis continues to cause havoc in the marketplace.
It seems that some of the “crisis fighting” measures that have been put in place are not enough-as European borrowing costs are continuing to rise.
Moody’s Investor Services will again review the ratings of European Union countries after last weeks summit did not produce any real initiates to put and end to the debt crisis.
S&P also made comments that the EU summit made some progress, but did not come away with any concrete decisions.
The CHF also fell versus the USD as investors continued concerns that European leaders have not come up with an agreement to reign in the debt crisis, thus causing investors to seek assets with less ties to the Euro Zone.
Asian equity markets were mixed-Europe is lower-and US Futures are pointing to a lower opening this morning.
Gold and Silver and Oil are all lower.
HAVE A GREAT DAY & GOOD LUCK
