Last week the March 2013 euro futures contract opened at 1.34680 and closed the week at 1.36650. Note the euro opened 2013 at 1.32570 and in the first week of January almost touched 1.30000 before this latest ride up. In January it seemed very quiet from the EU regarding the debt crisis. We did hear from numerous EU leaders that they thought the worst was over. That is of course until today, more on that later.
