Dollar Weakens on Signals of U.S. Economic Slowing; Zloty Rises



The dollar fell the most in three weeks as a report showing U.S. manufacturing slowed added to speculation whether the economy is strong enough for the Federal Reserve to accelerate reductions in its asset-purchase program.

The U.S. currency fell versus most major peers after its biggest monthly gain in January since May as a global selloff of emerging-market currencies prompted investors to seek haven assets. The euro strengthened against the dollar before the European Central Bank meets this week amid speculation slowing inflation may prompt officials to consider additional stimulus. The Polish zloty rose while a broader measure of emerging-market currencies extended last week’s losses.

The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, which monitors the greenback against 10 major counterparts, fell 0.2 percent to 1,029.87 at 5 p.m. New York time. It declined as much as 0.3 percent in the biggest drop since Jan. 10.

  2. Suatu hal yang biasa bilamana negara sekuat Amerika mengalami penurunan mata uangnya. Hal ini dikarenakan negara2 lain berlomba untuk meningkatkan ekonomi dan ketahanan keuangan negaranya. Kalau bu Eri bilang selalu ada dua kekuatan yang berlawanan hehehe. Yang tidak biasa dan tidak seharusnya dilakukan oleh Amerika adalah do nothing meanwhile so many problem to recovery ... hmmm
