The euro retreated while global stocks and commodities trimmed earlier gains amid concern European officials will delay Greece’s second bailout. The euro slipped for a fourth day against the dollar, losing 0.3 percent to $1.3092, and weakened against 14 of 16 major peers as of 9:43 a.m. in New York. The MSCI All-Country World Index added 0.5 percent, erasing yesterday’s 0.4 percent drop. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was little changed near the 1,351 level. The cost of insuring against default on European government bonds gained for a sixth day. The S&P GSCI Index rose 0.6 percent, paring an earlier 1.4 percent advance. Euro area finance officials are investigating delaying parts or all of the second bailout while still avoiding a disorderly default, Reuters reported, citing several European Union sources. Greece said that Europe’s wealthier countries are “playing with fire� by toying with the idea of expelling it from the 17- nation euro area as talks over a second aid program ran into new obstacles. Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos leveled the accusation after a decision slated for tonight on aid totalling 130 billion euros ($171 billion) was postponed until Feb. 20 at the earliest.
