Forex - Euro finishes week at 1.3040 against the US Dollar

The euro lost about 50 pips today on the forex market after 523 banks across Europe asked the ECB for 3-year loans of a total of 489 billion euros, or $641 billion. Theforex scheme is known as LTROs, shorter for the mouthful "longer-term refinancing operations".

If European financial institutions borrow too much, forex traders could get really jittery that what's happening is that banks are amassing risky carry trades — borrowing at low rates from the ECB and buying high-yielding peripheral (Greek-like junk) sovereign debt.

“The crux of the issue is where will this cheap money be spent,” says Chris Fernandes, a forex adviser at Bank of the West, as quotes by MarketWatch.
