News
The US dollar, by all accounts had a very
successful week, rising against the majority of currencies thanks to Fed Chair
Yellen's hawkish hint about possible rate hikes in the early months of 2015. One of the biggest victims was the Loonie
(CAD) where USD/CAD hit 1.1270, last seen in 2008. In its defense it has appreciated from 1.58
(2002 levels). GBP/USD also took a hit,
now currently trading around 1.6490 and with the EUR/USD has also broken
through strong technical channels. The
Yen seemed to enjoy the Ukraine crisis and the Kiwi continues to show strength.
