European economy is stabilized for now, but problems remain.
The day after the European Union announced a $1 trillion package to rescue the embattled euro, money managers and investment experts the world over are still skeptical about the currency’s prospects.
The euro rallied yesterday after the rescue package was announced, but dropped off again by day’s end.
