In the foreign exchange market witnessed volatile dynamics. Yen falls against the U.S. dollar amid expectations of continued loose monetary policy of the Bank of Japan, European currencies are consolidated before leaving the important statistics from Europe. GDP data for the third quarter in Germany were better than expected + 0.2% vs. 0.1%, but this did not have the support of the single currency, which continues to put pressure on European debt problems and the fiscal crisis in the U.S..
Futures on the dollar index, which reflects the value of the U.S. currency against a trade-weighted basket of currencies, is 81.21 (+0.14%).
Prediction of the day:
If the data from the eurozone and the U.S. will be weak, this should have a negative pressure on the single currency and to the attitude of investors to buy with risk.
