The euro took extended yesterday’s losses against the US dollar and Japanese yen in overnight trading, following disappointing German economic data yesterday and the ECB’s continued inaction to lower borrowing costs in Italy and Spain. Weak euro-zone growth prospects also continued to weigh down on the price of gold, which has fallen close to $10 an ounce since last night and is currently trading just below the $1608 level.
