An extremely volatile trading day ended yesterday with the U.S. Dollar gaining against most major currencies. The EUR/USD pair hit a one-year low not seen since April 2009, trading below 1.3200. Volatility is expected to continue today, while European Union (EU) representatives would probably try to reassure investors regarding the stability of the EUR and aid to support Greece. This should support the EUR, which was already trading higher at Wednesday's trade opening.

The Euro was provided assistance earlier today when the European Central Bank (ECB) announced that interest rates would be held steady - as was expected - and that there was little fear of a sovereign default by Greece. Such a turn of events gave the 16-nation single currency a much needed boost against its primary rival, the US Dollar, but some analysts contend that these gains will be short-lived.
