Improving Dollar to Benefit Golfers from the USA
| | October 2008
As can be seen from the extract below the global recession has seen an end to
the decline in the dollar over the last number of years. Golfers will still travel in
a recession and now with the dollar improving and costs reducing Ireland and
the South West are more attractive than anytime in the past number of years.
Euro, British pound plunge
Global recession fears remain positive for dollar
London (Market Watch) -- The euro and the British pound plunged against the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen Wednesday, pressured by further fund repatriation and expectations the European Central Bank and the Bank of England will move to aggressively cut interest rates in coming months.
"Investors continue to flock to the dollar as speculation mounts that central banks elsewhere will continue with aggressive rate cuts in an attempt to stimulate growth in the near term," said James Hughes, analyst at CMC Markets.
The yen, which has been the ultimate safe-haven currency during recent financial turmoil, posted broad gains.
The euro dropped to its lowest level against the greenback since February 2007, breaking key chart support at $1.3000 and plunging as far as $1.2743.
