• GBP has roared to a six month high against EUR. Now is the time to cash in on the best euro exchange rates.This comes amidst concerns that Greece will likely be forced to default on it’s debt. Interestingly, the Greek deputy finance minister has come out saying that the country has enough cash in reserve to be in business for another 30 days. Ever heard the phrase ‘‘I’ll believe it when I see it’’. Investors are getting very concerned about their ability to pay back it’s debts.
• It doesn’t get better for the Greeks as their not so friendly ‘friends’ from Italy have come out saying they won’t bail out Greece if their borrowing costs are greater than the Greeks
• In the USA, Barack Obama’s jobs program is faced with problems of moving towards implementation as bizzarly the contents were conveniently ‘leaked’ by an insider. The leaker has revealed that Mr.Obama’s plans would be paid for through higher taxis. Ever heard the phrase ‘‘sacked in the morning!’’
