It seems like dollar/yen has at least found a temporary bottom. And with the euro we've tried the lows and the highs and now the market is going into a bit of a comfort zone.

It's felt it's too soon after the introduction of euro notes and coins for any change. The ECB will not do anything to overshadow that move.

It's easy because the euro is so visible. And besides, in the tech sector, you can't really blame oil prices.

It's easy because the euro is so visible, ... And besides, in the tech sector, you can't really blame oil prices.

It was a somewhat weak rally in the euro anyway and it wasn't a move that was substantiated by the trade figures.

It's not that clear cut that intervention will have an impact, ... What appears to be driving down the euro are money flows out of the euro zone. If this is the case, it is not the optimal moment for currency intervention.

Following Scotland will always have highs and lows but hopefully we will be stronger for the Euro qualifiers and the tournament would be better with the presence of the Tartan Army.

Confidence in the euro as an alternative to the dollar has fallen apart.

Economic activity in the euro area is determined mainly by domestic factors, ... Growth is very likely to continue at a reasonably robust pace.

ECB intervention to support the euro is not all that likely.

Everybody is spinning it in their own direction, ... The end result is the same trends remain in place: dollar weakness, euro strength and the yen strong, but not so strong as the euro.

The boom in electronic banking and the reduction in cash transactions - partly due to the introduction of the euro - are changing the role of the branch network,

Strong employment growth in connection with a further decline of unemployment rates could further strengthen (US) rate rise expectations and cause the euro to test 1.20 dollars once again.

The Bank of England is walking on a tight rope as the data this week has been quite weak, pointing to downside risks in the economy. We see sterling coming down from their lift last week, going lower against the euro from here.

The background news is favorable for the euro. The euro zone economy is bouncing back and the U.S. economy is slowing.

The agreement is lower than expected and it's good news for Germany and for the euro zone because the ECB will have one reason less to raise interest rates. The whole package entails a total rise of 5.1 percent over 24 months, so for German standards that is a really good agreement.

It was a good preparation for us. We'll do our best to qualify for Euro 2008.

The yield differential is going to limit any real upside for the euro right now.

These suggest that output growth is going to be sustained at or around the current rate at least until the year-end. Beyond that, to see any real genuine self-sustaining momentum in the euro area, the labor market is key.

On a short-term trading view the euro looks pretty awful,

The correction comes after similar corrections in Belgium, the Netherlands and France and overall they point toward a potential slowdown in the Euro area in Q4.

I'm afraid there'll be no fiscal adjustment, and definitely no euro entry before 2012.

In both the U.S. and Europe, the budget and balance sheet numbers do not work. When 'off-balance sheet' promises are taken into account, the U.S. and most countries of the Euro zone are insolvent.

In common with other bookmakers, the group's results in the period were adversely affected by sporting results, compared to generally more favourable results and the Euro 2004 football tournament in the first half of 2004.

In a period when general economic slowdown is the main problem and when inflation is not likely to be a continuing threat, the euro area -- the second-largest economic area in the world -- needs to become part of the solution rather than part of the problem,

I have no doubt the Euro will be the world's major reserve currency in five to 10 years. If not the major one, it will be at least as important as the U.S. dollar.

In so far as this is already discounted by the interest rate futures markets, it is also priced into the euro and we're basically back to square one, where we started the year -- two more hikes here (in the United States), and two more in the euro (zone).

Investors are still willing to sell the euro in any rally, which is why we don't get a bounce.

Investors are saying to themselves that the uncertainty over the election is already priced into the euro and now it's time to buy. A coalition is not going to be much of a surprise now.

In the past 25 years the average growth rate of euro area gross domestic product has been between 2 and 2-1/2 percent, ... We are now in for a period this year and next year when growth will be in excess, I would even say considerably in excess, of 3 percent a year.

In the near-term, the euro seems to be hostage to downside risks against the Japanese yen due to growing interest for Asian currencies as a whole, and this is likely to weigh on the euro against the dollar.

Interest rates, I think, will start to fall in the U.S. in 1999, suggesting that the Euro will outperform the dollar in the early stages.

But we are such a large autonomous economic area, comprising a market of some 300 million people, that the impact of developments outside the Euro area on the Euro area are not negligible, but very limited indeed.

Germany has always stood for an E.U. of the 27 countries. But in light of Britain's continued resistance to further integration steps, as we saw with the fiscal pact, there are limits to my optimism in this regard. It's quite possible that we will have to create the new institutions for the euro zone first.

You can't have euro bonds without more interconnection among the national budget policies.

If he says anything surprising, that will move markets on Monday. But assuming he sticks to the same tone as (in) recent comments, next week we go back to a euro focus.

If everything remains the same, the euro should be closer to $1.08 than $1.02,

I don't think the ECB will cut rates today simply because they're still trying to get a grasp on what happenings in the EMU economy and secondly because the softer euro is doing some of the policy relaxation for them.

If Civic Platform nails down a strong victory, then euro adoption becomes that much more likely.

I don't think (the grand coalition) is going to prove that positive for the euro over the short, medium or longer run,

Not all Greeks are ready to do whatever is necessary to stay in the euro.

The market continues to focus on the lack of yield in the euro-zone, keeping the euro on the defensive.

The UK service sector PMI gave a boost to sterling -- sterling came off against the euro yesterday, so the data provided the opportunity for a bit of a correction.

Alongside the gathering momentum evident in the euro zone economy, the virtual confirmation of a hike in March supports our view that ECB interest rates will rise further than markets are anticipating.
