Unfavorable market conditions may delay the bond issue.
Asian and European trading sessions:
Euro: During the Asian and European trading sessions, the euro showed correction after yesterday’s decline against the US dollar, setting his daily high at $1.3827 level. The rumours were pressuring the markets today: The European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF) may delay the planned 3-billion-dollar bond issue because of unfavourable market conditions.
US Dollar: The US dollar fell against 11 of the 16 major currencies, amid expectations for not very positive economic statistics from the US. Speculations that the FRS would signal with its willingness to proceed with the purchase of assets or launch another program of quantitative easing pressured the greenback as well.
British Pound: Trade range of the both sessions for the GBP/USD pair ranged $1.5944 – $1.6044.
Japanese Yen: The yen rose against major currencies, after increased speculations relative to worsening in the situation with the debt crisis in the EU. Thus the demand for the safe assets had increased today.

Oil: Oil rose for the first time in four days after the release of statistical data on U.S. employment and oil reserves, and a weakening of the US dollar ahead of Fed statement. The cost of the December futures on U.S. light crude oil WTI (Light Sweet Crude Oil) in trading in New York rose to 93.74 dollars per barrel.
