Last day on international stock market turned out to be pretty active. The participants of the trades had to react quickly to new information. US dollar was losing its positions almost in all the places. The whole trading day passed in an obvious tension, starting with data on capital movement, published in Asian session and ending with positive macroeconomic statistics of the USA.
According to dealers, positive data on the labor market and retail sale strengthened the confidence of the market in the quick collapse of the QE program. And that, in turn, increased the pressure on dollar. Today American currency is making attempts to win back the losses.
