The dollar kept a weaker tone on Tuesday after the Federal Reserve left interest rates at a 46-year low of 1%, in line with expectations. Even though the central bank dropped the word "patient" from its post meeting statement, the market is...
...still jittery over when the Fed will begin policy tightening. The key U.S. jobs report due on Friday will highly likely determine further trend. Analysts expect the U.S. economy created 173,000 jobs in non-farm sector in April after a robust 308,000 increase in the previous month.
Large euro-sell orders realized by foreign banks pushed the crown sharply higher yesterday. The crown closed the session at around 32.20 to the euro, up from 32.50 in the morning.
