O dólar levantou-se ligeiramente de encontro ao euro e martela em sexta-feira, beneficiando-se dos investors nervosos da moeda corrente que retiram-se de risky “carrega comércios.”
Um slumping Wall Street, que caísse mais de 300 pontos em sexta-feira, dirigiu comerciantes longe daqueles comércios.
Carregue comércios envolvem pedir moedas correntes dos países com as taxas de interesse baixas, tais como Japão e Switzerland, e investing os fundos em recursos elevado-rendendo em outra parte. Carreg-negocíe beneficiários são geralmente o euro e as moedas correntes dos países com taxas de interesse elevadas, tais como o quivi de Nova Zelândia.
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.
