Pound Under Pressure - Euro on the Rise

As the Dollar Bides Its Time

It has been a rather boring week of headlines and news announcements compared to the volatility of the past few weeks.

Focusing on the US Dollar - It could be argued that intervention is at work propping up the Greenback for the past two weeks. Active traders have witnessed an amazing pause in the laws of gravity as the Dollar has actually strengthened in the face of negative forces, most notably after the Fed cut interest rates on March 18. Others may call it consolidation... But the Dollar can only hold on for so long - paused against expectations of further rates cuts by Bernanke. The EMU has expressed several times this past week that their main concern is with inflation and feel that growth will continue as demand continues from areas other than the US.
