05 January 07:40 AM

Forex news, Euro rate. Judging from the statement of the Chairman of the Eurozone group of finance ministers Jean-Claude Juncker to German radio NDR, 2012 is going to become a turning point for European currency. The end of the year will show which of the taken decisions will have brought the set aims closer.

According to the Prime Minister of Luxembourg, returning to payments in drachmas is not a way to solve debt problems of Greece, and the country does not necessarily have to quit the monetary union for this purpose.

Leaders of European countries have agreed to adopt the second financial aid package for the country; details are yet to be worked on. Juncker has informed that this is going to happen in the nearest future, as soon as negotiations between Greek government and private creditors about debt remission are over.

Euro rate is traded within the flat zone of 5^th sub-wave/sub-wave A of Daily wave level. According to the experts of the Department of Masterforex-V Trading System , FZR at the point of 1.2857 is needed in order to quit the flat and continue bearish trend. This level represents strong support. The next strong support and further falling trend is in the range of 1.2727/1.2722. If rising trend continues, passing sloping channel MF 1.3548/1.3458 and pivot MF will signal about the change of the mid-term trend.

European Natural Gas Crisis: Natural Outcome or Russia’s Game?

Natural gas import is still a major concern for the EU, especially this winter, which has been extremely cold. As a result, the consumption of natural gas in Europe has grown significantly, thus revealing a whole bunch of problems, including supplies and prices.

So, let’s have a closer look at the current situation in the European market of natural gas.

This winter every European country has shown increased demand for natural gas due to severe frosts. However, according to the Euro Commission, for some reason Russia reduced its export of natural gas to Europe in February (by 50% to the Czech Republic, by 30% to Austria, by 24% to Italy and by 8% to Poland). Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and Slovakia are in the same list.

A couple of days ago Willem Buiter, Chief Economist of Citigroup Inc., introduced a new notion – “rublezonefication”. According the Western mass media (Bloomberg, The Guardian, The Financial Times, The New York Times, Forbes etc), the respected economist used this notion to describe the future of the eurozone.

According to Willem Buiter, the ECB may initiate the collapse of the eurozone by allowing the union’s national central banks to expand their balance sheets at varying interest rates. This was the mistake made by the USSR’s central bank before the collapse of the so-called “ruble zone”.

The thing is that not so long ago the ECB provided the national banks of France, Italy, Spain , Austria, Portugal , Ireland and Cyprus with the abovementioned freedoms. Despite the temporary nature of these steps taken by the ECB, Mr. Buiter assumes that the eurozone members may eventually go back to their national currencies.

Is the eurozone really in trouble?

For decades people have been pondering on the same questions: Is nuclear energy worth betting on? Will it be the energy of the future? Is it too dangerous for the humanity to keep developing nuclear facilities around the world?

No wonder that there are many supporters and adversaries. Each party has weighty arguments.

As we know, last year nuclear energy became a special concern for the entire world. The Fukushima meltdown in 2011 (as the result of several earthquakes and tsunamis) reminded everyone that nuclear energy is as dangerous as powerful.

Shortly after the disaster, most nuclear countries started emergency testing of their nuclear power plants to find out whether they are safe enough. Some of them decided to abandon their nuclear plans.

Now let’s have a closer look at the results of such policies and the prospects of nuclear power engineering.

EU leaders held another summit in Brussels on Jan 30^th. It was attended by mixed sentiments and forecasts. Luckily, the EU and the eurozone managed to avoid disintegration. However, they didn’t find the cure for all the economic problems in the union either.

Germany and France, 2 economic locomotives of the debt-ridden eurozone, didn’t quit the currency union despite expectations but made another (the last) warning to the other eurozone members, thus reminding them to maintain budgetary discipline and forcing them to sing a “fiscal plan”.

The eurozone is on the verge of collapse. Another attempt to resolve the crisis has failed. The multiple loans generously provided by the IMF, the EFSF and the World Bank to the sick eurozone economies of Greece, Portugal , Ireland hasn’t made a miracle.

Brussels seems to be ready to accept aid from anywhere, even from those countries that are not its allies or friends to, say the least. One of them are the so-called BRICS states (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa).

All of them are united by the dynamic pace of economic growth and considerable stabilization funds. Till autumn 2011 the EU was rather skeptical about BRICS. French, British and German mass media would often assault and criticized the informal union, its members and their relations. Later the situation changed when Brussels had to come back to earth and ask BRICS for help.
