Dollar Falls on Fed Official's Rate Comments
The EUR advanced on the U.S dollar Wednesday, but failed to reach the $1.50 mark as investors zeroed in on a Fed official's comment suggesting key interest rates could remain low until 2012. Federal Reserve officials were quoted saying that the Fed could keep short-term fed funds rates at near-zero until early 2012. The ultra-low rates weigh on the U.S dollar, as investors use the buck to fund investments in higher-yielding assets.
The Wild Card
Gold
Gold prices rose significantly in the last month and peaked at $1141.25 for an ounce. However, the daily chart's RSI is floating in an overbought territory suggesting that a recent upwards trend is loosing steam and a bearish correction is impending. This might be a good opportunity for forex traders to enter the trend at a very early stage.
