Wall Street was beaten up on Friday prior to going into the weekend. Risk adverse trading finished the day with investors basically trying to find protection. The United states dollar gained against the EUR and Gbp and ended in the middle of its range, which basically arranges the approaching days as an additional check for traders. The Euro lagged per the hints that the ECB might be conditioning its stand towards a group of interest rate increases. ECB President Trichet made it clear that July may very well be the last of its rate increases as a way to maintain its protection against creeping inflation. Also the simple fact the Federal reserve has not indicated that it is planning to implement further quantitative easing has set the table for a delicate balancing act among two economic spheres that are infamous in many respects. The Commodity and Forex markets both came across swift and unstable trading on Friday and investors will tend to be nervous starting the next few days of trading.

The precious metal is at 1530.00 USD as of this morning. Crude Oil looks softer on conflicting reports about production disagreements within OPEC.

This will likely be a fairly light week of new data from Europe and the EUR is likely to deal with its tests immediately based on risk sentiment.

The Gbp was taken reduced going into the weekend. This may have been a result of from overhang in connection with its EUR centric mode. But the Sterling is not getting much assistance from bad U.K. economic figures either. Inflation data is going to be released tomorrow. Thursday will prove intriguing with Retail Sales statistics. The Gbp similar to its counterparts has found itself with a brisk range and this week ought to generate chances for contributors willing to stomach possible volatility.
