On Monday EURUSD descended, rebounding from resistance of 1.2320, after a false breakdown on Friday. Since EURUSD pair is moving in accordance with news, one might find the reason in newsfeeds.
The Friday breakdown was an echo of numerous promises from supreme politicians of European Union about all-round aid to “difficult” members of the union.
After the promise to do everything possible for euro support and for Eurozone stability, EURUSD pair broke the support up to 1.2320, but could not consolidate on Friday, since the operators decided to exit the market after fixing the result.
On Monday the pair descended because of the disappointment that was provoked by Minister of Finance of Germany Wolfgang Shauble, who announced that the buyout of bonds from Spain and Italy is not going to happen. This step would allow lowering the profits of these papers and would make them attractive for investors also that would lessen the indebtedness of the governments of both countries.

On Thursday Jose Manuel Barroso, who is the head of the Euro Commission said that Greece is going to remain in Eurozone anyway, despite the statements of Citibank that Greece is going to leave Eurozone right in the beginning of next year. Theoretically Greece exit from Eurozone, which is not a key country, will not lead to automatic union disintegration, but problems with stabilization will increase.
Barroso promised to do all in his power to maintain Eurozone stability, which means new programs for helping old debtors of Europe.

At this time Finland expresses discontent over necessity to finance negligent allies, when proper problems require financial resources. But such statements are groundless, although they were uttered by minister of finance of Finland Jutta Urpilainen.

It was announced on Thursday that the rate of European Central Bank would lower from 1.0% to 0.75%. Which can be regarded as a signal of priming the economy that together with the approval to allocate 100 billion euros for banking sector of Spain for financing its obligations, must be considered by markets a positive sign of possibility to recover. But the markets have not increased, and euro rate decreased on Thursday.
The reason of such “incomprehensible reaction” might be the president of European Central Bank Mario Draghi’s statements about permanent risks for European economy, lack of economic development and a catastrophically high unemployment rate, and also constant sovereign debts. All of these might destroy the efforts to regenerate the economy. These problems are long-existing, whereas the news about rate decrease has appeared today. Then why didn’t the investors and speculators react to this fact by rate increase?
