Is there confidence that the weakening economy and the Dollar's decline will be reversed?
*Reuters, by Atul Prakash, February 15, 2008:
"Dollar down as consumer sentiment slides
The dollar fell against the euro on Friday after a gauge of consumer
sentiment plunged to its lowest level since 1992, adding to fears that
the U.S. economy may be slouching toward recession.
The euro pushed above $1.47 for the first time in nearly two weeks to
trade at $1.4709, up half a percent from late Thursday, before easing
to $1.4692. It traded around $1.4685 just before the Reuters/University
of Michigan consumer sentiment data was released.
The dollar was also down half a percent against the yen at 107.40 yen,
with most of those losses coming after the New York Federal Reserve's
February manufacturing index posted its biggest monthly decline on
record."
