Daily Report: Euro Remains Soft as Merkel and Sarkozy Meet

Euro recovered mildly but remains soft against dollar, yen and swissy. Meeting between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Sarkozy will be a major focus today. The two Eurozone leaders are expected to resolve their differences on how private bond holders are to be involved in the second bailout for Greece. A German spokesman emphasized that Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble's proposal to extend Greece bond maturities by seven years is still the core aspect of German's plan. France, on the other hand, opposed to involuntary involvement of private sectors, which position is similar to ECB. EU finance ministers will meet again on June 19-20 in Luxembourg as the June 14 meeting yielded no agreement. However, it's doubtful whether a plan would be completed before July 11.
