The European debt crisis that is of great concern for investors is causing the euro to weaken. The worst case scenario - the breakup of the eurozone - is weighing heavily on markets, and investors are currently waiting for the summit that will take place on December 9, at which time European leaders will discuss German Chancellor Angela Markel's proposal for a tight fiscal unity in eurozone countries.
In the US, positive employment statistics prove that the US economy is recovering, but very slowly. Only 120,000 new jobs were created in November, and the unemployment rate fell surprisingly to 8.6%, from 9% in October. In global markets, there was a mixed trend in Asia, with slight rises.
