Euro Gains the Upper Hand in Forex Trading
After seeing a bit of a pullback on S&P’s downgrading of Ireland’s sovereign debt, the euro is seeing some gains in forex trading. The euro is up against the U.S. dollar in currency trading.
One of the main helps to the euro has come from the better than expected German Ifo data. Concerns about Ireland’s debt have been relegated to the back burner as forex traders contemplate the strength of the largest euro zone economy.
There are still concerns about the euro zone economy, though. However, with Germany looking ready to lead the rest of the EU in economic growth, some are hoping that the stronger euro zone economy means that the euro will remain stronger against the U.S. dollar.
