The euro
rose against the U.S.
dollar at the time, as it is today began a two-day session of the
Federal Constitutional Court of Germany, the highest judicial body
of the country. As part of the hearing the judge will appreciate
the legitimacy of government bond buyback program OMT, which is the
head of the European Central Bank (ECB), Mario Draghi announced in
September 2012. As stated by a member of the ECB Executive Board
Jörg Asmussen, a potential solution to the German court against the
ECB's program to buy back government bonds could mean new risks for
the single currency. The court will also consider the question of
the constitutionality of eurozone stabilization fund - the European
Stability Mechanism. According Y.Asmussena, when the ECB announced
a program to repurchase the bonds, "the euro area was close to the
uncontrolled disintegration," but OMT "showed speculators that the
euro will be protected, will fight for it." Meanwhile, the head of
the Bundesbank, Weidmann opposed the OMT. He said that the priority
duty of the ECB is to ensure price stability and, in this regard,
some of the decisions of the Bank called "problem." He also warned
of the need to observe the long-term effects of anti-crisis
policies.

The Australian dollar fell against the U.S. dollar after the release of data on the level of business confidence in Australia. Last month the index remained weak, despite the unexpected decline in the basic interest rate of the central bank of the state. According to a survey conducted by the National Australia Bank, the confidence index investors, businessmen and analysts in May was minus one point, as in the previous month. The negative value of the indicator means that the number of pessimists outnumber optimists. The greatest pessimism marked among mining companies in Australia. Recall that in May, the Reserve Bank of Australia cut its benchmark interest rate to a record low of 2.75%, with the objective to reduce the economy's dependence on the mining and energy sectors and spur growth in segments such as housing and retail.

The Japanese currency snapped a two-day decline against the dollar as the BOJ refrained from extending the maturity of loans to banks. The BOJ kept unchanged its plan for a 60 trillion yen ($611 billion) to 70 trillion yen annual increase in monetary base, the central bank said after a two-day meeting today. Twenty of 23 analysts in a Bloomberg News survey either forecast that the BOJ would approve two-year or longer loan operations at the policy meeting or said that such a move was possible. The yield on Japan's benchmark 10-year note rose five basis points to 0.875 percent. It has swung from an all-time low of 0.315 percent to as much as 1 percent since the BOJ announced in April a plan to double monthly bond purchases to more than 7 trillion yen.
Australia's dollar slid for a third day as the nation's statistics bureau said April home-loan approvals rose 0.8 percent, versus the 2 percent advance estimated by economists and a revised 4.8 percent gain in March. "Housing is the one area most likely to make up for the mining investment downturn, and it's disappointed," said Joseph Capurso, a Sydney-based foreign-exchange strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia. (CBA) "You've got to say that the Aussie's going to keep on falling."
