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.

It was interesting to see the US dollar fell and I predicted that someday dollar will not be a benchmark currency anymore. (Sugeng Manalu)
BalasHapusSuatu 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
