What next for the US Dollar?
Eoin Treacy's view Most investors are focused on the risk attached to the Eurozone following the 
 Spanish application for €100 billion in bank aid, Greece's overtures to 
 its lenders for more time and Cyprus' application for aid. 
The 
 Euro remains on a downward trajectory 
 versus the Dollar and a sustained move above $1.35 would be required to question 
 the consistency of the almost yearlong downtrend. 
While 
 media focus has been on the Euro's weakness, the strength of the Dollar against 
 a wide basket of currencies is equally notable. The Dollar rallied impressively 
 until the beginning of the month and spent the last few weeks unwinding the 
 short-term overbought condition. It returned to the first area of potential 
 support against the Canadian Dollar, Australian 
 Dollar, New Zealand Dollar, Japanese 
 Yen, Chilean Peso, Colombian 
 Peso, Peruvian Sol, Philippine 
 Peso, Singapore Dollar, South 
 Korean Won, Taiwan Dollar, Thai 
 Baht, Hungarian Forint, Israeli 
 Shekel, Turkish Lira, Norwegian 
 Krone, Polish Zloty, Swedish 
 Krona, South African Rand and has 
 found at least short-term support. A sustained move below its recent lows would 
 be required to check current scope for some further strength. The dollar is 
 extending its uptrend against the Indian Rupee, 
 Brazilian Real, Mexican 
 Peso and Indonesian Rupiah.
