The US dollar performance was abysmal this week as concern about the slowdown of the US economic growth persists and even the good news weren’t able to weaken the fears. The dollar fell versus all other major currencies this month.

The Swiss franc rose reached today the highest level this week against the euro after the leading economic indicators remained at the highest level in almost four years.

The US dollar fell against the Japanese yen today to the lowest level since November 2009 after the economic report suggested that the US economic growth slows, decreasing the appeal of the US currency.

The Indian rupee rose today after the central bank increased the interest rates for the fourth time this year, raising the yield on local assets.

The Brazilian real advanced today against the euro on the speculation that demand for the South American exports would grow as the European economic outlook brightened. The currency declined versus the greenback.

The Canadian dollar rose against its U.S. counterpart after two days of decline as demand for the crude oil, the main Canada’s export, increased and the commodity prices rallied. The loonie performed not so well against other currencies, including the euro, against which Canada’s currency continued to fall.

The Japanese yen rose today against the U.S. currency as the growing concern for the global recovery spurs the investors to seek safety, increasing the appeal of the Japanese currency.

The euro rose against the U.S. dollar today on the concern for the U.S. economic recovery, which decreased the appeal of the U.S. currency for the investors and increased the attractiveness of the shared European currency.

The Polish zloty extended its rally for the eighth consecutive day against the euro as the estimates of the Economy Ministry showed that the economy grew with the increasing pace, igniting the speculation that the central bank may raise the interest rates. The Polish currency dropped against the U.S. dollar slightly.

The U.S. dollar fell today against the Japanese yen after the report today showed that the orders for the U.S. durable goods fell unexpectedly in June, fueling the concern for the economic recovery and spurring the investors to turn to the safety of Japan’s currency. The EUR/USD moves up and down today after it closed yesterday near its opening level.
