Market Monitor

Updated: 13th February 2012

US and European stocks retreated from their previous highs, and doubts about Athens' ability to structure its finances tested the market. An air of tolerance was evident as Greek politicians missed recurrent deadlines to agree austerity measures, aimed at securing a new €130bn bailout, and avert a default next month. However, once a deal was agreed, investor reaction was muted; the agreement was dismissed as incomplete by finance ministers and a further set of demands were issued.

Towards the end of the week, Standards & Poor's lowered its ratings on 34 Italian financial institutions including Italy's biggest bank, UniCredit. However Italy's 10-year yield, which is viewed as a benchmark indicator for eurozone stress, remained below 6%. A surprise came from the Australian policy meeting where the Reserve Bank of Australia defied expectations for a rate cut – this helped the Australian dollar reach a six-month high against the US dollar. Elsewhere, the euro briefly rose before going into retreat but ended higher against the dollar. In commodity markets, a sharp rise in oil dominated trading while copper hit a five-month high.
