EUR Mid-day Analysis

The Euro faces a double edged sword today as the Euro zone economy clearly needs help to throw off apotential return to recession but that kind of action from the ECB is likely to yank the rug out from under the Euroagain. The trend is down and the ECB and Euro will have to take its medicine (significant easing) which initiallypushes the Euro into new lows for the move. In fact, seeing Euro zone producer prices in August contract againsimply highlights an environment where the Euro needs to move even lower until the exchange rate allows theEuro zone to borrow strength from its trading partners. Sell rallies of 20-30 points.
