Reuters•19 hours agoEuro recovers versus dollar as trade optimism supports risk-taking
The euro has been stuck in a trading range against the dollar for several months as growing weakness in the euro zone economy offset dwindling expectations the Federal Reserve will raise U.S. interest rates again this year. "Generally the mood is still quite positive on the outlook for trade," said Adam Cole, a currencies analyst at RBC Capital Markets, adding that he thought the "risk-on" mood would continue. You have a background of quite decent growth and a Fed that is putting rates on hold." However, he said a better way to play the Fed's pausing of rate increases was in dollar/yen, as more Japanese investors choose not to hedge purchases of dollar-denominated assets that already earn a decent yield after 2018's U.S. rate rise.
