A trade weighted index is an average of the exchange rates of a country's currency with the currencies of its most important trading partners, weighted to reflect each trading partners' importance to the country's trade.

So what conclusion do you draw from it - because I just see a very volatile graph where no real trending conclusion can be made

Strongest month performance for a long time. It's hard to know, but it doesn't look all gloom, for sure.

Ahh OK - I agree with that - I'd like to see a few months data giving similar positive results before I'd be happy - looking at the graph (it's not the easiest to read and correlate with actual Qtr time line below it) it seems cyclical but like most graphs it's much easier to look at the raw data if you want to interpret the results and try an understand if there is a cyclical pattern.

Merely comparative. I'm guessing the Italy vote has much to do with it.

Except, as Germany demonstrates, a weak currency is a good thing, so a rising £ isn't good for rebalancing the economy.

Might get a few companies moderating their blatant gouging price increases though.

The Euro will stagger on for another year or so. From day one I said this will take years to unravel, and origianlly punted 2014 as Euro D(estruction) Day. I have no reason to change my mind, though I can't now see it happening before that.

This thread just keeps giving.

So tell us, how do you think the Eurozone is doing? Is the crisis over? Are they all happy campers? Have the contradictions of its construction being resolved?

You could also type something like; 'Yes, I was talking, as usual, out of my ass, as, quite clearly, D Day didn't happen and the euro is still here 5-6 years later after start of this, quite ridiculous thread'.

Never underestimate the guile of politicians who do not want to have their noses pulled from the trough

All these things take time....

I could I suppose, other than the fact that I don't have an ass since I'm British. It's called an arse over here. I've bookmarked you and when it goes over I'll be sure to mock you. I only have to be right once; you all the time...

Meanwhile tell us how things are going in Italy?

Not sure what you are planning to mock me for. Even if Euro disappears tomorrow, you were still talking out of your posterior (is that better?). I made no predictions as to longevity of Euro, as I simply don't know.

As for the Italy; We came back to UK from Lake Garda, and as usual, food is fantastic, people are friendly and cheerful, and nobody that we met was stockpiling on canned goods.

Its a classic mistake for some posters to think that because we see the flaws n a single currency that somehow that means we don't like Europe or the people of Europe. Indeed many of us hate the single currency precisely because of its impact on some many people particularly the job prospects of an entire generation (Italy youth unemployment above 35%)

I love Italy and France, I cannot understand why they accept so an obvious one way transaction, they are being erode by a lack of competitiveness and Italy is losing its industrial base.

I wonder what we will be saying about Italy come Monday, they may be looking for a new PM and facing increased calls for a referendum...

Right, so let me get this straight. If i predict the end of the Euro, and the Euro subsequently ends, then I am talking out of my derriere (to keep thing continental).

What an strange little fellow you are.

[LongQ]

OK, so which one of you is this chap predicting the end of the Euro?

I can certainly say it's not me.

If you predict that Euro will end in 2014 and Euro is still here in 2016, then you were talking out of your 'arse'. If you tell me which part is confusing I might be able to help.

'an'?

I think the mods need to change the thread title as it is confusing for newcomers and doesn't reflect the reality of the political system in Brussels. I think a more apt thread title should be, "What lengths will the EU go to to save the Euro?"
