If you can remember in the past (2000-2004) everytime the euro went down against the dollar, the European central bank would intervene buying the EUR to support it and to stop its decline. Such moves used to changed the EUR 50-100 pips.

The ECB stopped to intervene since that time. Now the EUR hovering above the 1.35 against the USD, would surely hurt the European Economy. People around the world would think twice before buying a car made in the EU, because it is now 35% more expensinve than it was 3 years ago. Many friends of mine from the states cancelled their trips to greece this summer (2007) due to the high price of EUR. A hotel which used to cost 100 USD per night, now is 135 USD per night.

A question now is raised, will, and when, would the ECB intervene to take down the EURO back to the 1.20's?? at least?

The ball is with the US now , its well known that uncle SAM wants to $ to be as low as it can be boost the US economy, I guess they learned that from the Japanese.

Knowing that we have to consider the power comming from ASIA, where lots of Banks held thier acids as $, the talks now is they all want to convert. Once that is done and everybody lose faith in $ then we will see the $ boost again. Its a game and its well played on a high level.

China is a big player now in the world economy, Uncle SAM does not like that, because they have a hand in controling the US economy, so let’s see what uncle SAM is going to do about that
