Open BW Positions

The Frenzied Forex Front  

 n unexpected surge in US demand for consumer durables propelled to the dollar to new session highs, enabling it to post its third weekly rise against the major currencies. The report reflects firming demand from businesses, suggesting a potential increase in hiring. A weaker than expected report on Q1 growth from the UK weighed further on the pound, while a flurry of safely balanced remarks from the world’s top central bankers lacked any market impact. The dollar retains the last cheer for the week and will likely start on a high note next week ahead of Thursday’s release of the much scrutinized Q1 GDP report, expected to show growth as much as 5.0%.
