Market Review -22/07/2008 21:43 GMT
The greenback gains broadly on comments by Plosser and Paulson
The
greenback rallied on Tuesday, boosted by a steep drop in oil prices and
comments from Philadelphia Federal Reserve President Charles Plosser
who suggested that U.S. interest rates may have to rise even before
financial markets recover to fight rising inflation. In addition,
remarks by U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson reiterated that a
strong dollar was in the interest of the nation also gave support to
the greenback.
The European currencies tumbled against the
dollar on Tuesday and the single currency and British pound fell to as
low as 1.5778 and 1.9897 in New York afternoon trading respectively.
The euro was on track for its biggest daily fall in nearly three weeks
against the dollar and well below its record high of 1.6040 set last
week. The euro also fell from its record high of 169.91 against the
Japanese yen set on Monday to an intra-day low of 169.05 before
recovering.
On the other side, the dollar rallied against
the Japanese yen and Swiss franc after the hawkish comments by Plosser
and Paulson and the pairs rose to session highs of 107.45 and 1.0335
respectively in U.S. afternoon. The retreat in oil prices also helped
to boost the dollar and August crude oil futures fell $3.09 and ended
at $127.25 at New York closing after touching $125.63 (crude oil has
fallen $21.64, or 14.7 percent, from a record $147.27 high hit on July
11).
The dollar’s strength across the broad pushed the
dollar index higher, which rose 0.9 percent to 72.460. Futures traded
on the Chicago Board of Trade showed a 49 percent chance the Fed will
increase its 2 percent target rate for overnight lending between banks
by at least a quarter- percentage point by September 16, up from 41
percent odds on Monday.
On Wednesday, economic data releases
including Australia second quarter CPI data, U.K. Bank of England MPC
vote outcome (8:30GMT) and CBI industrial trends, eurozone industrial
orders and Canada CPI data.
