Daily Forex Market Commentary:
On Wall Street today the Dow closed up points as stronger than expected retail sales numbers gave investors hope that consumers and business are feeling more confident about the economy. U.S. retail sales rose 1.3 percent in November, double the increase analysts had expected and better than the 1.1 rise in October. A strong recovery in consumer spending is one of the key elements to sustained growth because it is a major component of U.S. economic activity which has repercussions around the world.
Currencies:
The U.S. dollar strengthened against all the major FX pairs today as the better than expected retail sales number gave investors reason to believe the U.S. may have to raise interest rates sometime next year. Crude oil and Gold were also down today which contributes to U.S. dollar strength.
Pair in focus: Dollar/Yen
