On Wednesday, the euro hit an 11-month low against the dollar and stocks eased after the Federal Reserve issued a warning that the sovereign debt crisis of Europe could hurt the U.S. economy but failed to signal fresh action to stimulate growth.
Euro/dollar slumped to its lowest level since January at $1.3005.
“If we get a further deterioration of the euro zone debt crisis, if we see a lot of countries being downgraded, or more problems in the banking sector, this $1.30 is not going to hold,” said Arne Lohmann Rasmussen, chief analyst at Danske in Copenhagen.
The dollar index .DXY that tracks the dollar’s value against a basket of currencies rose as high as 80.407.

On Thursday, European leaders were preparing for the possibility of Greece leaving the euro zone to preserve the 12-year-old single currency.
Greece Prime Minister George Papandreou was told by French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel at a torrid meeting in Cannes that Athens would not receive a cent more in aid — Greece was due an 8 billion euros aid payment this month — until it votes to meet its commitments to the euro zone.
From news.yahoo.com:
In Athens, Greece’s powerful finance minister broke ranks with his prime minister, rejecting a proposed referendum on staying in the euro, hours after they received an ultimatum from France and Germany to make up their minds.
The growing chaos in Greece and uncertainty over the euro zone sent stocks and commodity prices lower in Asia, and fueled a rush into safe-haven German bonds.
On his return with Papandreou to Athens from Cannes, Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos issued a defiant statement, saying Greece’s euro membership was a historic achievement and “cannot depend on a referendum”.
“Greece is something we can get over, something we can live without,” France’s Europe minister, Jean Leonetti told RTL radio in an interview.
A study on Thursday revealed that thirty large and profitable U.S. corporations paid no income taxes in 2008 through 2010.
Among the 280 Fortune 500 companies studied, Pepco Holdings, a Washington, D.C.-area power company, had the lowest effective tax rate, at negative 57.6 percent.
From news.yahoo.com:
The statutory U.S. corporate income tax rate is 35 percent, one of the highest in the world, but over the 2008-2010 period, very few of the companies studied paid it, said the report.
The average effective tax rate for the companies over the period was 18.5 percent, said Citizens for Tax Justice and the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, both think tanks.
Their report also listed General Electric Co, Paccar Inc, PG&E Corp, Computer Sciences Corp and NiSource Inc as among the 30 that paid no taxes. All 280 corporations examined were profitable over the period.
“But that does not mean that low-tax corporations bear no responsibility … The laws were not enacted in a vacuum; they were adopted in response to relentless corporate lobbying, threats and campaign support,” the report said.
