Spread Bets on the U.S. Dollar

Financial spread betting strategy and the currency market

U.S. economic data is showing that the economy overall is not doing as badly as feared, and the Fed is unlikely to cut interest rates any time soon. All of this bodes well for the U.S. dollar, according to Forbes:

GFT senior financial analyst Ian Copsey said the dollar has found its lows against the euro, sterling and Australian dollar and is set to track back up over the balance of the year, as recent data shows the US economy is not in as bad shape as previously feared. In addition the Federal Reserve remains concerned about inflationary pressure suggesting any possibility of a rate cut remains firmly on the back burner for now.
