Asian Markets Tumble on worries over Greece
Asian stocks are getting hammered in this morning’s session as they react to Greece’s debt downgrade and the Spanish banks’ downgrade by rating agencies Fitch and Moody’s. The euro has also given up all of its gains from Thursday and is lower by 0.20% in the morning trade.
On the economic front, we have the Producer Prices from Germany, which are expected to decline to 0.30% and could be slightly negative for the euro. There are no major data releases from the U.S. Today’s market fluctuations will be in response to Greece, Spain and the EU, with little on the eco front worldwide, the press and media will be digging for news and events.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
The euro continues neglecting the oversold reading appearing on daily studies due to the strong bearish trend on weekly studies. It is currently re-attacking yesterday’s low around 1.2680 and a break of which will weaken 1.2625 support and may extended towards 1.2530 areas. The bearish picture remains valid for the rest of the day as there is no sign of starting a corrective wave. Key support at 1.2500 and key resistance at 1.2915.
