Forex Daily Review: Spain Regional Elections and GBP/AUD

22 Oct 2012• Matti Williamson, FX and commodities analyst      Spain Regional Elections in Galicia and the Basque

Elections in Galicia (Spain) showed great support for the ruling People’s Party (PP), which supported the gains in Euro-dollar through the Asian session.
