US Growth Slows down, Euro Stabilizes, and the Yen Soars

August 3, 2010 at 4:29 am

After its bullish trends for most of the first half of 2010, the US dollar is now starting to weaken against many of the majors during the August 2 forex trading day. This is largely due to the weak economic data regarding the US gross domestic product, which weakened from a previous 3.7% to a significantly lower 2.4%, a sure sign that economic growth is slowing down in the US. Dow Jones declined by 0.01%, while NASDAQ gained by 0.13%. Gold increased by 1.1% to close at $1,183.9 per ounce, and crude oil increased by 0.8% to close at $78.95 per barrel.

The euro has begun to stabilize against the dollar with quelled fears over the worsening debt crisis in the region. The EUR/USD forex pair traded at a high of 1.3093 and a low of 1.2980. The Japanese yen, on the other hand, is on a roll, strengthening to its highest point yet this year. The USD/JPY pair traded at a high of 86.82 and a low of 85.94.
