EUR/USD is currently at 1.2465, off from another fresh 2012 lows at 1.2456 and lowest since July 2010, amid a new round in risk-off sentiment sending local share markets to the red again, Nikkei down -0.73%, and gold flirting with fresh weekly lows below $1550. Worse than expected Aussie retail sales figures pressed risk sellers to print new session lows in a downward session that started around 1.2487 highs.

Headlines coming from new developings from Spain will probably bring volatility to markets, as well as Italy sovereign bond auctions looking for more than ?6B in 5 and 10 year maturities.
