Today's news is appropriate. The ECB (European Central Bank) is keeping interest rates steady, despite pressures to cut rates to stimulate the European economy (which is facing the same energy-related problems as the US). From Business Week:
European Central Bank leaves rate steady
The euro is not just maintaing its strength against the dollar, but continuing to gain. Venezuela is shifting its reserves from US gov't securities to dollar-denominated deposits and is looking to increase it's euro holdings; is this Chavez's paranoia or a Good Idea????
