U.S. Dollar: Quarter Ends With a Bang
March 31, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
The last trading day in the first quarter of 2009 has ended with a bang. The U.S. dollar sold off against most of the major currencies as repatriation flows come to an end. U.S. economic data was weak, but not a game changer and therefore currency investors chose instead to focus on the positive implications of Japan’s stimulus package and the IRS’ new tax break for U.S. car buyers. The currencies that are performing the best against the U.S. dollar are the ones whose central banks are not expected to adopt quantitative easing, namely the Australian New Zealand dollar.
