Euro Rebounds Versus Dollar After Obama’s Speech

After touching the lowest level in 2010 yesterday versus the U.S., the euro advanced on speculations that a White House proposal will shun investors from North America, allowing the euro to gain versus the greenback in foreign-exchange markets this Friday.

The euro posted its first advance versus the dollar since Tuesday as U.S. President Barack Obama speech done yesterday proposing news restrictions and prohibitions for financial institutions in the country to use in hedge funds and other types of investment. which could create a new credit bubble and harm the economy as a whole. The euro pared much of its previous days losses versus the pound after a U.K. report indicated a worse-than-expected advance in retail sales in the country, forcing the pound down versus most of the main traded currencies.

Even if the economic health of several Euroland member countries remain rather complicated, the pessimism is strong everywhere, and that allowed the euro to pare some of its losses, according to currency strategists. The euro’s advance is unlikely to follow during the next week, as Greece budget deficit is far from a solution, and other countries are likely to have the same issues in the near future.

EUR/USD traded at 1.4165 as of 17:41 GMT from a previous rate of 1.4091 yesterday. EUR/GBP traded at 0.8779 from 0.8694.
