Presentation transcript:

“Rescue...for the Euro Falls Short…” [New York Times, ] u u “To the disappointment of many European bankers, American officials refrained from speaking out strongly in support of a stronger euro and raised doubts about their willingness to intervene forcefully in currency markets by selling dollars or buying euros.”

“Rescue...for the Euro Falls Short…” [New York Times, ] u u “The market badly needs a statement from the Americans that the euro is substantially under- valued and the dollar is substantially overvalued,” Mr. Friedrich said.”

“Rescue...for the Euro Falls Short…” [New York Times, ] u u “… the amount of money used to intervene … was very modest. The ECB gave no clue about the magnitude of its campaign to buy euros or sell other currencies, but currency experts and traders have estimated that the amount was about $6 billion or $7 billion.”

“Rescue...for the Euro Falls Short…” [New York Times, ] u u “… Dow Jones Newswires, quoting an anonymous official at the ECB, said the actual amount of the intervention was in the ‘low single digits,’ perhaps $2 billion or $3 billion’.”

“Rescue...for the Euro Falls Short…” [New York Times, ] u u “Psychology and timing may ultimately be more important to the future of the euro than the amounts of money used by the world’s central banks on its behalf.”
