However, were seeing developments and were see inging a shift gradually to risk on trade and thats after the rally in Chinese Markets yesterday and also after the new proposal just coming in from greece. Mayu were definitely seeing some progress in those two areas. But hows that really affecting the currency markets. The euro really jumped especially against the yen. Right after the proposal from greece euro yen is now 134. 60. Compare that to 133 yen just a few hours ago. Analysts are saying the threeyear bailout loan was similar to the one presented by the European Commission last month. That encouraged dealers to sell the safe haven yen. That made the dollar stronger against the yen as well. Its now around 121. 61 and whenever the yen weakens thats a sign of Market Players starting to take risk.
