The euro still firmer against the dollar
Nothing worked. Neither the words of Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the Eurogroup, nor even those of Ben Bernanke, the Fed chief. The dollar is falling and the euro rises. This was decided by the market, more than ever sovereign foreign exchange. While the major fundraisers of the euro zone met yesterday in Luxembourg, the European currency traded against 1.49 dollars, up from Friday night. The comments of Jean-Claude Juncker at the weekend, suggesting that the ECB might intervene to support the dollar, have not impressed the markets busy to take risks amid low interest rates in the United States. The speech of Ben Bernanke on Monday called for reducing U.S. deficits, nor has helped strengthen the greenback.
