The euro took significant losses during early morning trading today, after worse than expected German and French economic data raised concerns among investors that the euro-zone debt crisis is affecting the region's two biggest economies. The EUR/USD, currently trading around the 1.2930 level, has fallen more than 60 pips since this morning. The AUD was able to gain against several of its main currency rivals last night, after a better than expected CPI figure boosted faith in the Australian economy.
