The dollar erased some of the losses it had suffered in previous sessions on Monday, recovering from a 20-month low versus the euro and from a 14-year trough against sterling. In an absence of fresh economic data, the dollar's advance can be attributed to a round of profit-taking. On Thursday, the European Central Bank is widely expected to lift interest rates by 25 basis points to 3.50%, while the Bank of England will likely keep its main rate at 5%.
The crown was almost flat against the euro yesterday, with market participants awaiting a slate of economic data due to be released later this week, including October foreign trade figures on Wednesday and reports on November CPI and Q3 GDP growth on Friday.
