The euro sank to a 14-month low below $1.27 on Thursday as markets expressed their lack of confidence in European leaders’ ability to contain the debt crisis.Source: YahooThe European Central Bank did not offer more support to European countries struggling with debt and left interest rates unchanged at 1 percent.The euro has been battered this week, dropping as much as 6 cents, or 4.5 percent, on fears that a planned euro110 billion ($140 billion) bailout for Greece will not help the country manage its debt load in the long term, and that more aid may be needed for Portugal and Spain to keep from defaulting as bonds come due, borrowing costs remain high and their economies stagnate or decline.It has been the sharpest weekly drop for the euro since October 2008, when the financial crisis drove investors to the safety of the dollar.”There’s a real problem in Europe…(and) there isn’t an effective means to address the crisis,” said David Gilmore of Foreign Exchange Analytics in Essex, C

Yesterday the Federal Reserve renewed its pledge to keep interest rates low for an “extended period” saying that inflation is “likely to be subdued for some time”.This is positive news for mortgage rates. Not much has changed since the last Fed statement. The tone of the statement suggests a more optimistic outlook on the economy, but it stressed that the economy is in a precarious position and still faces several headwinds – among them unemployment, underutilized capacity, and a large supply of foreclosed homes. It is entirely possible that market forces could drive interest rates higher, but they will not change as a result of Fed actions in the near future.The Fed statement said “growth in household spending has picked up recently but remains constrained by high unemployment, modest income growth, lower housing wealth, and tight credit”. It further commented that “the pace of economic recovery is likely to be moderate for a time”.The latest report from the Labor

The euro rose broadly on Friday after euro-zone leaders agreed on a safety net for Greece, though uncertainties remained over the country’s debt sustainability.Euro-zone policy-makers agreed on an aid package under which Greece would receive both bilateral loans from euro-zone partners and funding from the International Monetary Fund if it faced severe difficulties. [ID:nLDE62N2R1]But the plan did not alleviate longer-term worries about Greece and other fiscally vulnerable economies in the region, such as Portugal and Spain, limiting the euro’s gains.Analysts said the agreement is limited because it only offers funding as a last resort and only with unanimous euro- zone approval.The package “reduces some of the biggest risks on Greece and we are obviously seeing the euro respond to that,” said Daniel, Katzive, a director for global foreign exchange at Credit Suisse, in New York.”But ultimately, the markets remain apprehensive over their fiscal situation and it will be hard for the euro

As I travelled around the US last week, one question cropped up more than any other: could the euro disintegrate? More specifically, might individual nation states choose to leave the euro and, if so, which ones would depart first?That these questions are asked at all reveals a lack of credibility surrounding the euro. You don’t hear many investors in Europe asking whether the dollar might disintegrate, even though it might make economic sense for California, for example, to exit stage left and choose to tie itself to the fast-growing economies of Asia rather than to the US.We don’t ask these questions of California for an obvious reason: California, like the rest of the US, is ultimately represented by federal government bodies in Washington which control a large budget, protect US interests through diplomatic and military means and set the nation’s monetary policy.Yet it wasn’t always so. Between 1769 and 1821, California was a Spanish colony. It then found itself in Mexico’s hands u

SOUTH Korean couples cannot end their marriage because one partner has refused to have sex with the other for years, according to a Supreme Court ruling released to local media today.

The case was brought by a husband, only identified by his family name Kim, who said his wife has never had sex with him.

They were married in 2005, went to live in the US and later returned to South Korea to live with Kim’s parents.

He first filed for divorce in 2007, saying the couple had never consummated the marriage.

The court ruled the couple could probably work out their problem if they really tried.

“Unless the defendant wishes to accept the decision for divorce, it is hard to acknowledge the marriage with the plaintiff has been broken beyond recovery,” the court said in a decision made available to media.

The court did allow for divorce in cases where physical ailments prevent sexual relations.

South Korean courts have been trying to slow down the divorce rate in the country for the past few years after the number of divorces had almost doubled in the decade starting in 1995 to post one of the highest rates in Asia.

Of those, four were in the stable southern Shiite heartland while two in the north went to the only company that expressed an interest: Angola’s Sonogal. The last was in central Iraq, in a province where violence has remained at a minimum.The auction was key for Iraq. Its international licensing round in June — the first in over three decades — largely failed with only one giant field awarded out of eight offered.
