Forex dollar recovered some losses as risk appetite fades

The dollar regained some ground in the week on Friday with reports of a large quarterly loss at Bank of America and informed consumer confidence dulled investor demand for higher and higher currency risk.

The bill came to 14-month high against the euro earlier this week as signs that the global economic recovery is to get the steam sent investors looking for assets and currencies, and he promised to receive higher returns from lower dollar.

However, evidence that consumers in the United States and some banks, the U.S. Supreme still under a mountain of debt allows investors the opportunity to book profits on Friday of a falling dollar and the rise of the present in securities and commodities.

"In a very short period of time, stocks were large and the major currencies to record levels and the devaluation of the dollar has dropped significantly," said Brian Dolan, chief strategist at Forex.com in [Bedminster], the state of New Jersey. "The temptation to cover short and take the profits can be very high at this time."

Broad-based recovery in the dollar, although small, is enough to take it beyond the psychologically important level of $ 1.50 per euro, and then above 90 yen. In the euro last traded price of euro = 1.4894, down 0.4 percent, while the dollar rose 0.4 percent to 90.89 yen ¥ =.

The yen fell against other currencies, as Japanese investors sought higher returns in foreign markets fixed income.

Dolan said the recovery will not last long, however, as markets expect the Fed to hold interest rates at zero and the beginning of 2010, Malthus to maintain a premium return on the currency lower. "I think $ 1.50 is the result of inevitable", he said.

The dollar rose 0.3 percent to 1.0183 Swiss francs = Swiss franc and 0.4 percent against the Canadian dollar to C $ 1.0378 CAD =, off a 15-month low near C $ 1.02 hit this week.

Sterling rallies for second straight day, rising to 0,5% = $ 1.6354 pounds sterling record as traders cancel bets on the British currency, the central bank's policy after this week, the emergency programs to buy the assets employed.

In accordance with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, speculators short sterling hit a record in the week ended Oct. 13, several days before the Bank of England's comments.

Growth concerns exist

Although U.S. interest rates expected to remain at record levels, and investors often buy the dollar as confidence in the global economic recovery and the media that they are forced to sell higher, but get a higher currency risk and assets.
