El dólar se levantó levemente contra el euro y la libra el viernes, beneficiando de los inversionistas nerviosos de la modernidad que se retiran de aventurado “lleva comercios.”
Un slumping Wall Street, que bajó más de 300 puntos el viernes, condujo a comerciantes lejos de esos comercios.
Lleve los comercios implican el pedir prestadas de modernidades de países con tarifas de bajo interés, tales como Japón y Suiza, e inversión de los fondos en activos de alto-rendimiento a otra parte. Llevar-negocie a beneficiarios son generalmente el euro y las modernidades de países con tarifas de interés alto, tales como el kiwi de Nueva Zelandia.
The 15-nation euro was worth $1.4785 in late New York trading, a little below the $1.4793 it was worth Thursday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the U.S. central bank would act aggressively in confronting economic woes - signaling more interest rate cuts - and the European Central Bank sounded a hawkish note on interest rates. Those announcements drove the dollar lower.
Lower interest rates can jump-start a country’s economy, but may weigh on the currency as traders transfer funds to countries where they can earn higher returns.
The British pound dropped to $1.9573, down from $1.9609. On Thursday, the Bank of England kept its own rate unchanged, but signaled a cut was likely in February.
The dollar was down to 108.91 Japanese yen from 109.54 yen and 1.1010 Swiss francs from 1.1045 Swiss francs.
Also on Friday, the U.S. Commerce Department reported that the country’s trade deficit surged to the highest level in 14 months in November, reflecting record imports of foreign oil. The deficit with China declined slightly while the weak dollar boosted exports to another record high.
In other New York trading, the dollar rose to 1.0206 Canadian dollars, up from 1.0108 Canadian dollars.
