  • The rally in U.S. equities and the improvement in risk appetite drove the U.S. dollar lower against all higher yielding currencies. Thanks to some extra efforts by the G20 and relaxation of mark to market accounting by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), investors have become more optimistic. However a big event risk lies ahead for the U.S. dollar and it remains to be seen whether the positive sentiment following the G20 and FASB can be sustained. The non-farm payrolls report is traditionally one of the most market moving pieces of data for the foreign exchange market and with the strong possibility of another sharp decline in jobs, it is too early to completely buy into the recovery story (How Could the Dollar React to Non-Farm Payrolls?).
