1.08814 seems to suggest the further weakening of the Euro.

Why now?

The Fed is more likely to start raising rates soon, which means relative strength of the dollar versus other currencies increases.

1.07 break today. Feds strongest hints yet at Dec. rate increase. The only thing I know for sure is a storm is coming, be prepared.

US jobs report was good this morning, so Janet will proceed to raise interest rates this month, which in turn should bring that back down, no?

It's still trading in the range. This latest up move is a bounce off the support.

I think there will be more movement when rates actually go up. But what do I know? If I could reliably predict these things, I'd be retired by now.

The market has already figured in the 1/4 uptick by the Fed. And the Euro came down. Glad you didn't bet the house, Eric. Now at 1.08724.

1.09255 and it has ranged from 1.08-1.10 for the past couple of weeks. Surprising how narrow the band has been lately, especially given the situation in China.

Euro goes to 1.12 today. My crystal ball is cloudy but I get the feeling things are not well in Europe either and the fall out will be sooner rather than later.

Well the Euro is strengthening, now at 1.13306. Is it Europe getting stronger or our political scene in the USA driving the dollar weaker?

Either way, I hope to see things turn around again.

Lots of uncertainty on the US side of the pond over interest rates, etc. Once people get over that, I expect the Euro to go back down. 3 months? 6 months? I think it is more about the Federal Reserve and less about presidential politics.

I certainly hope you're correct.
