Fundamental
The euro weakened after Moody’s Investors Service lowered Ireland’s
sovereign debt rating by one notch, fueling demand for perceived safer
currencies such as the dollar and Japanese yen. The single currency
fell against 11 of its 16 most actively traded counterparts as Moody’s
today cut Ireland’s rating to Aa2 from Aa1, citing the government’s
“gradual but significant loss of financial strength.” The agency has a
“stable” outlook on the country’s debt, it said today in an e-mailed
statement. Moody’s also cut its rating on Ireland’s so-called bad bank,
the National Asset Management Agency, to Aa2 with a stable outlook.
