With the Abu Dhabi governing announcing that it will assist Dubai with its debt repayment problems, to the tune of $10 billion in financial assistance, the single currency Euro gained against the U.S. Dollar in London trading today. Once the news was released, the U.S. Dollar declined broadly with the Euro being the immediate benefactor of Abu Dhabi’s largesse. As reported at 8:55 am (GMT) in London, the Euro gained .2% to trade at $1.4656, helped along as well by a .8% gain in share prices in the European market.
