The Euro had a worst week due to another bad development in the Greek crisis. Because Euro was sold off sharply last week on the drama of Greece bailout. Indeed, last week of two sessions sent EURUSD more than 200 pips down. As per the markets experts thought that there is already an agreement reached between Euro zone countries on the way to provide financial support to Greece, Germany came out and said that it’s not a legal to support such kind of plan and called for IMF’s involvement.

The last week data’s are negatively affects on the EURUSD pairs. FED holds rates for “Extended Period”(>0.25).The news came from US producer prices fall as energy costs drop, a key indicator of inflation, Which was positive for USD.Also the another news was from Bank of Japan ( BOJ),held rates at a record low (0.1%) and said that it would double a loan facility available to other banks. The main data was published last week was the Euro zone reported one of its largest monthly current account deficits. The 16.7 billion euro shortfall in January compares with a 9.8billion surplus in December. After this data the euro down by 218 pips by the two sessions that is last Thursday and Friday.
