Downgrades of some peripheral European sovereign ratings were shrugged off as the focus was on developments in formulating the bank recapitalization plan.

FTSE 100 took out equivalent level of 5449 to close at 5466 while DAX is also back pressing 6000 psychological level. Dollar index suffered and extended the fall from near term high of 79.93 to close at 76.62. Full Report Here... | |
