Today US stocks rose, as better-than-expected data for housing starts were announced, lifting the US market. Expectations that Spanish government will ask for a bailout in the near term in combination with the fact that Moody’s finally did not downgrade Spain’s bonds to ‘junk’ category lifted the European stocks. The Euro rose to a one-month high as investors think that a possible credit to Spain and more potential in help for Greece would support the Euro in the near term.
