The headlines are already flying, pick one.

Add nothing has changed yet exept having an "agreement in principle" and it is a kick down the road to actually agree on the agreement at a future date.

Bye Bye Britain: The European Union's New Face
http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...1&d=1323439565From spiegel.de
http://www.forexfactory.com/images/misc/news_quote.gif The European Union on Thursday night dropped the hypocrisy. No longer is harmony the overriding goal. That, though, means that Great Britain may no longer have a place at the table. London must decide whether it wants to remain part of Europe or not. Europe on Friday awoke to a changed world. The European idea as we know it is in the process of dissolving into thin air. The monumental postwar project of a peacefully unified continent where all member states hold hands in friendship collapsed overnight. The European Union has divided itself in the face of crisis. On the one side is the common currency ... (full story)

Two main titles.

EU Treaty: "I think I did the right thing for Britain", says Cameron.

And the second one is much funnier:

There is absolutely no pleasing the Brits. He has been saying for years the Euro project was doomed because it... well lots and lots of reasons, but the basic one was that it was doomed. Now it is doomed because Britain has been sidelined.

Why doesn't that make them happy. All I ever hear from the Brits is "Bad Euro, Bad Euro, Bad Euro". So now they are sidelined and possible out, what do they have to complain about?

Just no pleasing these guys.

Anatole: Clausewitz, the Prussian military theorist, said in his reflections on the Napoleonic period that “war is the continuation of policy by other means”. If so, then it would seem that Germany is again at war with Europe; at least in the sense that German policy is trying to achieve in Europe the characteristic objectives of war: the redrawing of international boundaries and the subjugation of foreign people.......etc

I think that you should remember that The Brits actually try to implement all of the ridiculous regulations that stream out of Brussels.......from my experience actually living in Europe, the local politicians take as long as possible to impliment anything that they dont like, whilst taking every last Euro that they can from every conceivable program......I guess that's why where I live, we have more new Autopistas / motorways/ main roads /swimming pools / sports centers etc etc than the whole of the UK....

Hmm, looks like price stalled at or around 1.3370. I don't see it coming down to the 1.32 area, a level that would motivate me to believe in a gap up during the weekend, so I'm flat, no small test longs for me.

Also, taking into account Draghi's communication blunders, the fogginess of the "fiscal compact", UK tensions and the full Moon of tomorrow, I'll have a rather bearish look on the EUR for next week. Or at least risk-off. As always, time will tell.

Trade safe and have a nice weekend

http://www.forexfactory.com/images/misc/news_quote.gif As European leaders unveil their latest plan to solve the debt crisis, economists and market experts aren't convinced they'll actually be successful. At least one group says there are one too many obstacles and chances are, the currency union will break up, triggering an end of the euro as we know it. "Three years after the first 'once in a generation' financial crisis, we may now be entering the end game for a euro of 17 countries," said Graeme Leach, chief economist at the Institute of Directors, a London-based non-political organization comprising 43,000 business leaders worldwide, but ...
