The Euro continued its run against the dollar Tuesday in NY, hitting a one-year high in early trading, before giving back some of theose gains on wavering US stocks and profit-taking. Yield-seeking investors ignored worse than expected euro economic data and seesawing US stocks to propel the better-returning euro toward $1.50. Newtons Law fully applies right now: the dollar will continue to fall unless it has a good reason not to! The dollar's ultra-low interest rates make it attractive for investors to use the buck to fund bets in higher-yielding currencies, such as the euro and the commodity-backed CAD and AUD

The Euro advanced against the dollar on Monday in NY, but fell off its earlier highs as the common currency tracked seesawing US equities. Subdued trading because of the holidays in Japan, the US and Canada kept most currencies within tight ranges even as rising risk appetite led investors to bid the $1.48 for part of the day and sent the Canadian dollar to a fresh 13-month high. With no econimic data on Monday's calendar, currencies took their cues from stocks, with strenghtening equites leading to heightened risk appetite and a stregthening of the Euro and other high-yielding currencies. As stocks dipped into the afternoon trading, the euro pulled back.

The dollar rebounded against most widely traded currencies on Friday in New York, Rising on a combination of more positive US economic signals and some end-of-the-week profit taking on gains logged over the past several sessions against the US currency. The dollar's comeback began overnight on the back of the comments by Ben Bernanke lateon Thursday regarding the the eventual tightening os US monetary policy, and then accelarated in in North American trading following a better than forecast report on the US trade balance in August. The trade deficit unexpectedly narrowed by $1.2 billion, to $30.7 billion, during the month.
The dollar was also supported by higher yields on US treasury securities Friday, which rose on the impact of Bernanke's comments about the need to tighten monetary policy and shrink the Fed's blaoted balance sheet once the economy shows signs of improved improvement. Loose monetary policy and ultra-low interest rates encourage investors to use the low-yielding dollar to fund bets on riskier assets such as commodity-backed currencies such as AUD and CAD.
