CASH and JUNE CANADIAN DOLLAR
(5/15): Canada’s dollar fell against its U.S. counterpart after Greece political leaders indicated that talks had failed and elections will be held, boosting demand for refuge from Europe’s debt crisis, Bloomberg News reported. The currency, nicknamed the loonie for the image of the bird on the C$1 coin, strengthened against most of its 16 most- traded currencies as Canadian existing home sales rose 0.8 percent in April from the previous month, the Canadian Real Estate Association said in a statement. Canadian stocks and crude oil, the nation’s biggest export, declined.

EURO CURRENCY CASH and JUNE FUTURES (electronic)
(5/15): The euro was less than 0.1 percent from the lowest level in almost four months after Greece’s political leaders failed to form a ruling coalition, deepening speculation the country will have to leave the currency bloc, Bloomberg News reported. Demand for the euro was damped before Greek leaders seek agreement on Wednesday on an interim government that will schedule new elections. Figures from the European Union’s statistics office yesterday showed gross domestic product in the region stagnated in the three months through March 31 after a 0.3 percent drop in the previous period.

JUNE DOLLAR INDEX (electronic)
(5/15): The U.S. dollar traded 0.1 percent from its strongest this year versus its Australian peer as Asian stocks extended a global equity rout and ahead of the release of minutes from the Federal Reserve’s April meeting, Bloomberg News reported. Retail sales rose in April at the slowest pace of the year as Americans took a break from a shopping spree induced by unseasonably warm weather in prior months and an earlier Easter holiday. The 0.1 percent gain followed a 0.7 percent increase in March, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington.
