US Dollar Surges to 11-Year Peak

The US currency climbed up to an 11-year high versus primary currencies as interest rate discrepancies moved in support of Treasuries.

According to investors, yield variance between two-year US Treasuries and EU government bonds expanded before the release of details regarding the ECB’s 1.1 trillion euro bond procurement agenda.

The single currency declined 0.25 percent versus the US dollar to $1.11545. This pushed the dollar index to 95.57 which is the maximum level since September of 2003.

On the contrary, majority of euro bond profits remained close to unprecedented lows as traders awaited the central bank to supply additional details about its QE program this week.

FOREX strategists claim that while the euro move pre-empted the execution of quantitative easing, they expect actual flows to weigh on the common currency.

Meanwhile, the greenback declined against the Japanese currency after economic advisers of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared the dollar was not capable of sustaining additional gains.

Comments dragged the US currency from a three-week peak of 120.27 Japanese yen which was affected by a spike in national debt yields. It traded at 119.80 during the final session and was behind 0.3 percent.

The Australian dollar increased one percent against the US note after the Reserve Bank of Australia preferred not to change its policy rate at an exceptional trough of 2.25 percent. It achieved a high of $0.7845 before it settled at $0.7805 which was still up 0.5 percent during that day.
