4 January 2001, 17:21 US FX Daily Outlook: Dlr/yen, euro/dlr recoup losses tied to rate
By Kyle Peterson, BridgeNews
Chicago--Jan. 4
The dollar was mixed overnight with the euro/dollar recovering losses
suffered in the wake of the surprise Federal Reserve rate cut Wednesday.
Dollar/yen erased all losses on signs of political instability in Japan.
The European Central Bank (ECB) left its key interest rates unchanged, as
expected.
Dollar/Swiss franc fell from a 6-day high of 1.6317 after rebounding
from a near one-year low Wednesday. Sterling/dollar moved higher in the
previous range, while dollar/Canadian dollar moved lower in its previous
range.
Although their focus remains on Friday's U.S. employment data, traders
will appraise today the strength of the U.S. factory orders and December
NAPM non-manufacturing data, both due for release at 1000 ET. New York Fed
President William McDonough and San Francisco Fed President Robert Parry
are scheduled to speak and market participants will be looking for clues
on the Federal Reserve's next move on interest rates.
The U.S. traders are likely to bid both euro/dollar and dollar
yen/higher.
