Foreign Exchange Forcast for March 14 2009
USD
The US dollar fell yesterday as the possible bankruptcy of General Motors and upcoming US bank earnings reports weighed on US stocks. “On a day like today, with really no economic news, people are paying a little more attention to U.S. stocks,” Jeff Sakamoto, an interbank trader with Union Bank of California said on Monday. But he said traders were being cautious about taking large positions ahead of the earning reports from US banks today. These reports could be crucial on the view that inventors take and could greatly affect the value of the dollar. If you have an upcoming currency requirement, don’t hesitate to pick up the phone today.

Euro
With European markets remaining closed for the Easter holidays, investors showed some signs of risk appetite, reflected in the Euro gaining against most major currencies yesterday. If this risk appetite continues, we could see some of the higher yielding currencies appreciate. What we have found however is that market confidence is as quick to appear as it is to disappear and this writer wouldn’t be surprised if the gains we have seen could be wiped out by a negative news release or a worse than expected data release. It seems negative news releases are appearing left, right and centre for a lot of countries at the moment, with no currency being safe. You can rest assured however that in these troubled times Foreign Currency Direct is on hand to help and by opening an account with us today, you are under no obligation to trade, but do have the ability to secure a rate when the time is right for you.
