USD Hits 1-Year Low on U.S Economic Pessimism

The U.S Dollar struck a one-year low against a basket of currencies on Wednesday, as investors reduced dollar holdings on views that the U.S. currency may weaken for now due to pessimism over the U.S. economy. Investors have been selling the greenback across the board as they speculate the Federal Reserve will be forced to keep its Interest Rates low for the time being to support the country's fragile economy. Looking ahead, currency players will watch for the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) for August to be released later in the day. The CPI data has the biggest potential to move forex markets, since a weak figure could lead to lower long-term U.S. interest rates, and that might prompt more Dollar selling.

USD Continues Decline; Slow Economic Recovery Expected

With recent fears over inflation and fiscal deficits, the market surprisingly appears calmer than it should be. The USD has continued its decline, suggesting that either faith in the American economy is fleeting, or investors are increasing their risk appetite and dumping US Treasuries. Either way, the decline in the value of the USD has helped boost energy prices and fueled export growth worldwide. Economic recovery seems to be underway, but many caution that it will still be a long and bumpy ride
