The European common currency was hovering around the $1.21 level during the last two trading sessions, with the activity heavily influenced by the Easter holiday. Nevertheless, the yen posted soild gains both against the dollar and the euro...
...on Monday, boosted by surging Japanese stocks and a growing surplus on the Japan's current account. This morning, with most market players getting back from a long weekend, the dollar rose sharply to a four-month peak against the euro. It seems that the market is positioning ahead of closely-watched March retail sales data out of the U.S. to be released this afternoon. Analysts expect a 0.6% increase, but a stronger reading would highly likely encourage the dollar.
The Czech crown kept a positive tone on Friday, firming to a six-week peak of 32.35 to the euro. News that the Czech National Bank will sell its foreign exchange reserves returnes at the market helped pushed the crown higher. The CNB said it would gradually sell euros and dollars for crowns to prevent an unwelcome rise in its FX reserves. The market was closed for holiday on Monday.
