Euro Capped at 1.3000 as All Eyes on US


The Euro against the US dollar climbed early in the day on Tueday, despite the concerns of a new plan.

EUR/USD  was essentially unchanged in morning European trade after an early bout of risk appetite in Asia quickly faded on announcement that Secretary Treasury Geithner’s plan to rescue the financial system would not be revealed until Tuesday. The pair managed to climb within a few points on the 1.3000 level in Sydney and very early Tokyo on some follow through from Friday’s rally in the DJIA, but the Japanese stocks could not hold their gains in the wake of the announcement by Nissan that it will cut 20,000 jobs as the result of weakening global demand.
