Week of Weakness for Euro, Volatile Swings on Friday

This weak was marked by return of the concerns about Europe’s sovereign-debt crisis and the weakness of the euro. The currency rose on Friday slightly, but overall this was a bad week for the euro. With the quantitative easing happened in the US the attention of the traders returned to Europe. And it turned out that the economical situation there hasn’t improved much.
