The pair EUR/USD is traded downward at the Forex currency market on Friday morning.

By 9.25 the Euro is at 1.3311 against yesterday’s closing level of 1.3315.

The motive for the sale was markets’ concerns about developments in Europe.

It also became known this morning that agency Moody’ downgraded rating of Hungary with the “negative forecast” as well. Earlier Hungary asked for financial aid from IMF ”just in case”

In addition, investors started to talk again that there is a chance of increasing capital reserve requirements for those banks that forgave half of the Greek debt. It is also possible that Eurozone will need about 106 billion euro to recapitalize of 70 large banks of the region.
