The Euro rose in the previous European session as Greece's bond buyback plan increased hopes that the indebted country would be able to reduce its debts by 2020. The US dollar declined on the other hand as US lawmakers could not seem to agree on the measures to avert the so-called fiscal cliff. In today's European trades, the single currency is anticipated to extend gains versus the Greenback supported by positive news coming from Spain and China.

The macro data released during the Asian session overnight was seen broadly missing market expectations, and the result was that risk assets were lower across the board, but equity prices faired better than the others.  If this type of activity continues, and we see growth concerns, expect assets like Gold and the Dollar to rally.  The Asian data releases came in the form of the Japanese Tankan survey and the Chinese PMI, which dropped to 50.9, the (its lowest level since first quarter…
