This Monday there was already speculation with a pact in this line after the proposal that Charles Michel, President of the European Council, sent to the leaders. The market seems to be satisfied with this agreement. On the other hand, there are analysts who see it with good eyes, while there are others who are not clear about it.
"While the markets are buoyed by what has been agreed, the money in question is only a fraction of what it takes to help Italy, Spain and Greece get out of their current difficulties. This deal is likely to be another patch in a dysfunctional monetary union, as it wobbles from one crisis to another. On a more positive note, what this agreement does is establish the capital of some form of joint debt issuance, and this is what can be interpreted as a small step towards greater fiscal integration ", explains Michel Hewson, director of analysis at CMC Markets in London.
After hearing the news about the European pact, the euro has set a new four-month high at $ 1.1470.
