FXE is the popular ETF to use for the Euro.
According to Reuters, Germany's Angela Merkel on Friday did not offer Greece any commitment of financial assistance. Merkel said that Germany "could help Greece with its expertise and in other ways".
"Asked about media reports of a potential rescue plan being worked on by
European nations, Greek government officials said they were unaware of any such discussions or plans. Greece insists it has now done all it can. It says
that if its latest euro 4.8 billion ($6.5 billion) austerity package, which was
approved by Parliament Friday and described by Merkel as an "inordinately
important step", doesn't win the full support of the EU and the markets, it
could be forced to seek help from the International Monetary Fund".
