Tuesday saw the value of the common currency of the European Union hover between losses and gains while all eyes focused on circumstances germane to the political livelihood of Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, according to MarketWatch.

The Aegean nation, presently waiting on its second tranche of international aid since June 2010 so as to avoid defaulting on loan obligations, no longer is the sole focus of the dangers caused by the sovereign debt crisis thanks to suffering in Italy.
