Posilní greenback?

Niekoľko dôvodov, prečo by mohol greenback v nasledujúcich mesiacoch pokračovať v posilňovaní. Jedným z dôvodov naďalej zostáva jeho postavenie ako bezpečné útočisko v prípade, že sa globálna ekonomika začne opätovne drmoliť.

1. Dollar sentiment - as it is near virtually every market bottom - is way too pessimistic.

2. The multitude of problems besetting the United States are fully reflected in the price of the greenback. No one is going to sell the dollar next week because of the budget deficit.

3. Economic conditions in overseas markets - especially in Japan and the Eurozone - are even worse than they are here.

4. The euro faces serious structural problems as bankers in Frankfurt dictate monetary policy to weaker economies like Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ireland. (Expect social unrest - and demands to punt the euro - to grow.)

5. The dollar will retain its supremacy as a safe-haven currency if the world economy starts to sputter.

6. The U.S. currency has already turned up from its December lows, rising nearly 10% against the struggling euro.

7. And lastly, Ben Bernanke is likely to start raising rates later this year, attracting greater foreign investment.
