The current level of the Euro sees it trading mid way between today’s range as the single currency looks set to continue with its recent downtrend with support being seen at the 1.4000 level. The single currency today fell by over 100 pips as the recent riots in Greece have once again highlighted concern in the Eurozone and future plans for a 2nd bailout – a plan which has left Eurozone members divided.
The Greek debt woes have also spread and have influenced the Canadian Dollar, bringing the USDCAD pair to a 3 week high at 0.9860. The recent debt woes of Greece have seen many seek comfort in less risky currencies like the USD and as a result a number of the majors, including the CAD, have dropped to weekly low levels. The recent troubles in Greece have been a catalyst for the recently seen Canadian Dollar sell off.
The British pound traded around the 1.6110 levels for most part of the US session, oscillating by some +/-35 pips, as the day’s lasts session sees the UK currency taking a pause from recent drop.

What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files. When you visit a website, the website sends the cookie to your computer. Your computer stores it in a file located inside your web browser.
Cookies do not transfer viruses or malware to your computer. Because the data in a cookie does not change when it travels back and forth, it has no way to affect how your computer runs, but they act more like logs (i.e. they record user activity and remember stateful information) and they get updated every time you visit a website.
We may obtain information about you by accessing cookies, sent by our website. Different types of cookies keep track of different activities. For example, session cookies are used only when a person is actively navigating a website. Once you leave the website, the session cookie disappears.
Why are cookies useful?
We use functional cookies to analyse how visitors use our website, as well as track and improve our website’s performance and function. This allows us to provide a high-quality customer experience by quickly identifying and fixing any issues that may arise. For example, we might use cookies to keep track of which website pages are most popular and which method of linking between website pages is most effective. The latter also helps us to track if you were referred to us by another website and improve our future advertising campaigns.
Another use of cookies is to store your log in sessions, meaning that when you log in to the Members Area to deposit funds, a "session cookie" is set so that the website remembers that you have already logged in. If the website did not set this cookie, you will be asked for your login and password on each new page as you progress through the funding process.
In addition, functional cookies, for example, are used to allow us to remember your preferences and identify you as a user, ensure your information is secure and operate more reliably and efficiently. For example, cookies save you the trouble of typing in your username every time you access our trading platform, and recall your preferences, such as which language you wish to see when you log in.
