The Dollar pulls back on risk appetite

The Dollar weakened for today as investors and traders look for higher yielding assets. In other words, risk appetite has risen and commodity currencies like the Australian, the New Zealand, and the Canadian Dollar have gotten the best part of it. The drop on the greenback has been attributed to profit taking and a needed correction on the US Dollar, due to the fact that it has been too over-extended to the upside.

On the other hand, the Euro could continue going lower after the current consolidation if there are no new fundamentals supporting the Single Currency. Tomorrow’s inflation report out of Germany is critical, because it could provide the European Central Bank with an excuse to implement more economic stimulus.
