        <Name>A Look at Today's FX Market</Name>
        <Summary>Spread bets and CFDs on currencies</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;The major currencies are at a bit of a crossroads, and they are actually rather dependent upon each other. Knowing where the currencies are at on the FX market, and how they interact with each other can help your spread betting and contracts for differences on currencies. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/ousiv/idUSL1956928220070219" target="_blank" title="FX market, spread bets, CFDs, spread betting, contracts for differences, major currencies, spread betting currencies" style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Reuters reports on the state of today's FX market&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 40px; font-style: italic; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt; The value of Japan's currency is part of a growing Asian 
challenge to Europe as the world's leading exporter. This is 
led nowadays as much by China, with its vast pool of cheap 
labor and a currency that is state-controlled, unlike the yen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt; Also, just when the yen may be about to reverse course, the 
dollar is also showing possible signs of becoming a weakling, 
slipping in recent days to levels that cause concern in Europe, 
from about $1.30 per euro upwards.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt; Analysts stress that a yen revival is no cure-all for the 
European economy. Morgan Stanley's chief Europe economist, Eric 
Chaney, calculated that a 20 percent yen rise would add just 
0.2 percentage points to euro zone gross domestic product.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</Description>
