The euro hits the 2-months low.
Asian and European trading sessions:
Euro: Tuesday saw a sharp decline of the euro, and the EUR/USD pair hit the lowest level in three months since September. The pressure from the situation with Ireland financial help continued to have a negative influence on the euro. In addition to that, the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel stated that euro was in an extremely serious situation.
The released information regarding the artillery fire between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea decreased the optimism of the market participants. As a result, the demand for the low-risk currencies grew.
Eventually, the EUR/USD dropped below the $1.3400 level.
At the same time the published positive European fundamentals could not render support to the euro. The Euro-zone purchasing manufacturing and services indices showed better than expected results. The German GfK consumer confidence survey raised above forecasts as well.
US Dollar: Against the background of the diverse pressure on the euro, the greenback strengthened. The US dollar was supported as a save-heaven as well.
British Pound: The sterling followed the euro dynamics, and the GBP/USD pair decreased as well.
The GBP/USD pair dropped to the $1,5780 minimums.
Japanese Yen: As a save-heaven currency, the Japanese yen rate grew against all its counterparts.
American trading session:
US Dollar: The economic recovery of the US gradually gathers pace. The US annualized GDP for the 3-d quarter showed growth above expectations, the US personal consumption increased above it forecasts. The Richmond Fed manufacturing index grew and the ABC consumer confidence index did not change from its previous level. At the same time, the existing home sales volume for October dropped below the expectations. The released minutes of the FOMC meeting from November 2-3 did not have any impact on the greenback dynamics.
