Euro/dollar Soars to 1-Month High
The U.S currency dropped against all the major currencies on Tuesday after reports showed U.S. retail sales and business inventories rose more than expected. The data eased investors' worries about the outlook for the global economy, making them more willing to buy riskier assets, including stocks and commodities, and moving away from assets considered safer, such as the greenback. The dollar turned lower versus the euro after a report showed U.S. business inventories jumped 1% in July. The euro's advance began after U.S. retail sales rose more than expected in August, notching the largest gain in 5 months. Once the euro broke above $1.2920-30 area, the level that was the top of the range since August, it kept going to a one-month high of $1.3033. It was last up 1% at 1.3000. The move may be accelerated, as being at parity was a key technical point which may encourage more selling of dollars, analysts said. www.forexyarad.com
