Similarly to last week, currency movements in all major currencies this week are likely to be dominated by economic news coming out of the USA.
There is a continuing trend of poor US data bringing down currencies seen as risky – particularly the Euro, and pushing up currencies seen as ‘safe’ including the Japanese Yen and US Dollar itself; news from the US is continuing to be seen as a key indicator of the global situation in general which means that negative data from the nation is ironically not bringing down the Dollar.
This week is beginning with a lot of uncertainty in the currency markets with a weak Euro, strong Pound and volatile US Dollar… which could all change by the end of the week.
An already weak Euro has experienced some negative data this morning regarding the manufacturing sector in the single-currency zone. This follows its fall to a one month low against the US Dollar and a seven week low against the Pound as the French President has been preparing the nation for the most severe round of budget cuts in two decades.
Many people ask what the benefits of being a fiscal resident of Spain are. This is a complicated question and an important one. It is best to discuss this with a specialised tax consultant as every one´s personal situation is unique, but in general there are advantages to being a resident of Spain, especially when it comes time to sell.
The first advantage is that there is no retention for residents at the point of sale, whereby for non-residents there is a retention of 3% of the purchase price.

During the whole of Semana Santa (Holy Week), street processions are organised in most Spanish towns each evening, from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday.
People carry statues of saints around on floats or wooden platforms. The religious fraternities and brotherhoods are responsible for carrying the statues and organising the penitents and musicians. All these processions are carried out in an atmosphere of mourning. The people who carry the weight of the floats are called "costaleros" and are expected to carry these "tronos" with solemnity and grace.
