Greenback in currency trading
US economic data has crushed estimates and the first news is sending the US dollar higher in forex trading. Indeed, the news that the unemployment rate has fallen to 8.3%, and that the economy added 243,000 jobs in January has boosted demand for the US dollar.
The good news out of the US stands in contrast to the disappointing news out of the eurozone. Disappointing regional data is dragging on the euro so that it cannot take advantage of an environment of risk appetite.
Plus, the US dollar is showing such strength in forex trading that gold prices are pulling back. Gold has been steadily gaining strength, and the combination of profit taking, plus a stronger dollar, is enough to send gold prices lower today.
