The Dollar rallied to an almost six-month high against the Euro on Thursday amid growing concern over euro zone economic weakness and accelerating inflation in the United States.
Traders sold the Euro after reports showed contraction in the Euro zone's economy in the second quarter. The Euro zone single currency accelerated its losses and fell below 1.4800 after it broke through key technical levels, analysts said. Government data showed US consumer prices rose at twice the rate expected in July. Analysts said higher prices in the short term may help boost the case for interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, although they warned that over time, inflation would hurt the economy. Oil prices are down more than $30 from a record high 145.45 hit in July. Crude oil settled 1.26% lower on Thursday at $114.93 a barrel. View the full article |
