First of all, June was a very important month for the European Central Bank, as it celebrated its 10th anniversary. In the ten years which have passed since the formation of the ECB in 1998, its main goal has remained unchanged: to maintain price stability in all Euro-area nations and assist its steady economic growth.

Let’s start with what happened in the markets last week, as there was a big liquidation on Thursday in all markets, with DOW JONES and NIKEI dropping more than 300 points after Citigroup and several other big companies revealed more than 7000 job reductions.

Comment&amp;nbsp;by &amp;nbsp;Lena Manousarides [ lena@fxgreece.gr &amp;nbsp;] Another week starts with the EUR/USD falling sharply from 1.5625 all the way down to 1.55 after worse than expected IFO data from Germany. The fact that the number was lower than expected, together with PMI below the important 50 level, puts pressure on the Euro where a clear break of 1.55 would bring 1.5440 back in the game.

The activity in the currency markets was very small, with thin liquidity the main event of the day.
