Majority of analytical agencies consider that FRS rates will remain at a former level or will decrease if the situation on real estate market does not improve. And market received confirmation to it after data about GDP gain for 1 quarter, 2007, data showed that the economy develops at the least rates. In spite of the fact that FRS forecasts significant growth of gross domestic product in the second quarter, investors prefer not to open long-term positions in favor of dollar.
On the contrary, investors show increased interest in euro - the European Central Bank is inclined more resolutely concerning rates and declared that the level of 4 % per annum on ECB rates can be raised at the nearest meeting of Governing Council.
Euro was supported after the publication of data over France. The index of consumer sentiment in France in June grew up to -12 in comparison with -14 in May, agency of national statistics of France Insee informed.

Gross domestic product of France in 1 quarter grew by 0,5 % quarter over quarter and +1,9 % y/y, Insee informed. Economists forecast quarter rates of GDP growth +0,5%q/q, + 2,0 % y/y. Insee informed that economic rise in the second quarter will possibly accelerate after falling in 1 quarter and will reach 2,1 % for all 2007 as world terms show improvement and consumers expenses should grow.
