The Greek debt accord is by no means finalised as the terms for an agreement to swap old bonds with new 30 year securities which may pay coupons as high as 4.75% have yet to be agreed. Furthermore, hedge funds holding Greek bonds may not accept the deal as they may look to a more imminent finalisation of their exposures by looking to trigger the payments from credit default swaps. At the same time Greek officials are also meeting with the ECB, EC and IMF, the “troika” on a new EUR 130 billion financing for the nation. The Greek tragedy is reaching its climax.

At first, markets were extremely pessimistic that a deal wouldn't push through. This resulted in a strong euro-sell off. But now, comments from important financial officials suggest otherwise.

I don't think we'll see Greece default... yet. European officials will agree to provide aid to Greece and everything will be fine and dandy again.

I think this will most likely have a positive effect on the euro, at least initially. Bullish momentum could kick in as investors express optimism for the deal. But how long will it last?

แนวโน้มการเคลื่อนไหวของราคาทองคำยังขึ้นอยู่กับการเจรจาหนี้ของกรีซซึ่งยืด เยื้อกินเวลา 2 วัน แต่ยังไม่ได้ข้อสรุป ส่วนสหรัฐคืนนี้จะประกาศยอดขายบ้านมือสองเดือนธ.ค. คาดว่าจะออกมาเพิ่มขึ้น น่าจะช่วยให้ราคาทองคำฟื้นตัวได้ แต่คาดว่าคงจะไปได้ไม่ไกลนัก ราคาทองคำยังมีแนวต้านที่ 1,667-1,670 และ 1,680 ดอลลาร์ โดยเฉพาะแนวต้านหลังคาดว่ายังผ่านขึ้นไปได้ยาก ยังแนะนำเหมือนเดิมการเก็งกำไรระยะสั้นควรรอเปิดสถานะในช่วงที่ราคาปรับฐาน ลงมาที่แนวรับ 1,650 และ 1,640 ดอลลาร์
