Europe Up for the Week, but Where's the Euro Bounce?

Though European stocks are up this week, and the European Central Bank's three-year loan program was deemed a success (it eased funding difficulties for banks), the euro is little changed, hovering around $1.30. Spreads on southern European bonds vs. German bunds are generally wider, and Italian 10-year bonds remain near 7 percent. This is a serious problem, as Italy has a series of bond auctions before the year is out.
