As the financial crisis in the eurozone continues, former BBC Europe correspondent David Shukman recalls the optimism that helped launch the euro project.

Launched in 1999, the euro became a cash currency in January 2002

It might sound odd to recall a particular taxi ride in Germany all of 22 years ago.

But it was in Hanover in June 1988 that I first realised that what sounded like a far-fetched fantasy – that Europe would create its own currency – might conceivably lead somewhere.

I was reporting on a European summit. Margaret Thatcher, then prime minister, was there and was not happy.

The US markets had started 2010 on a steady note and they went on to hit multi-month high in March and April. And the gains made in four months have been lost in the last two weeks alone, thanks to the European sovereign debt crisis fears.
Now there are more reasons for the US markets to keep crashing throughout the remaining part of 2010.
The state level finances are worse and California cannot survive beyond few months without the aid of the US government aid. And the housing tax benefit of $8000 is coming to an end this month and that could bring a big drop in housing demand. That in turn could pull down lot of industries from cement , steel, plastic and electrical items.
Next comes the issue of drop in demand from China over the coming months, as the inflation has started haunting the fastest growing Chinese economy badly in the recent months. That could pull down the export demand out of US.
Then we have the problem of spiking up of crude oil prices over the coming months, thanks to near zero capacity addition across the globe in the last 20 months. Also US may go in for slowly hiking up the taxes on high income earners and also corporates over the coming months, which also may not be liked by the market.
Upsetting of Goldman Sachs in the SEC case over the coming months could be the last straw in the coffin.

The last few weeks have been really bad for the US stock markets, with all the key index numbers hitting their multi-month lows. The huge fall out of Greece debt problems had a cascading effect on the entire global financial markets.
The US banks also have big exposure to European Government bonds, including Greece and Spain. That fear has forced many stock market funds to pull their investments out of equities from all the markets.
Expect more turmoil in the coming weeks across the globe, say experts. The US markets have lost all the gains of 2010 in a matter of two weeks. Whether they will lose more in the coming days is a billion dollar question.

Greece is continuing to face trouble internally and it may be finding it very difficult to implement all the austerity measures agreed for the European Union plus IMF loan support.
Over the coming quarters, the internal pressure might force the country to fail on the commitments and that might force the IMF to cancel further loan disbursements.
That may in turn force Greece to go for debt default and renegotiation, and that is what the financial market is fearing now.
