De dollar nam lichtjes tegen de euro toe en het pond op Vrijdag, die van zenuwachtige muntinvesteerders profiteert die zich van gewaagd „terugtrekken draagt handel.“
Het instorten Wall Street, die meer dan 300 punten op Vrijdag viel, dreef handelaren vanaf die handel.
Draag handel impliceren het lenen munten van landen met lage rentevoeten, zoals Japan en Zwitserland, en het investeren van de fondsen in elders hoog-opbrengt activa. De begunstigden van de dragen-handel zijn gewoonlijk de euro en de munten van landen met hoge rentevoeten, zoals kiwi van Nieuw Zeeland.
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.
