All eyes have been on Washington today with Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke testifying before Congress and Treasury Secretary Geithner releasing details on the US’ capital assistance program. The financial markets have been waiting for the details from the Treasury since they first announced the Financial Stability Plan and now investors have reacted positively. The Dow Jones Industrial Average turned positive temporarily after having been down close to 200 points this morning. Interestingly enough, the recovery in US equities has failed to have a meaningful impact on the currency market. The US dollar strengthened across the board and has remained strong going into the close of the US trading session.
