Register online > European Central Bank Lends 489 Billion Euros On Wednesday, a total of 523 banks borrowed a total of 489 billion euros from the European Central Bank (ECB). The 3-year loans carry a low interest rate set at 1% and will hopefully keep cash flowing through the financial sectors.  Banks had the opportunity to borrow as much or as little as they liked. Economists had estimated banks would borrow 293 billion euros, a much lower amount than what was actually borrowed. Are these loans a step in the right direction? The long term, low-interest loans are being received with mixed emotions. On one note, it's refreshing to know the ECB has unlimited funds to offer to banks. On another note, the banking sector needs these unlimited funds. News of the loans caused the Euro to gain slightly against the Dollar.

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.

IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
