USD Dollar (USD) – In forex trading, the US Dollar strengthened against most of the major currencies after the Federal Reserve’s plan to shift holdings of treasuries to keep the economy from falling into recession. This increased the refuge appeal of the currency. In addition, the FOMC left the rate benchmark unchanged at <0.25%. The Fed plan, called Operation Twist, involves buying $400 billion of bonds with maturities of six to 30 years through June and selling an equal amount of debt maturing in three years or less. It was mentioned in the Fed statement that “There are significant downside risks to the economic outlook, including strains in global financial markets”. As a result the safe-haven currency rose. Earlier today Moody’s Investors Service downgraded the debt rating of Bank of America Corp and Wells Fargo & Co. Moody’s analysts wrote in the report that U.S. support has become less likely if lenders get into financial trouble. Wall Street closed negative as the NASDAQ fell by 2.01% and the Dow Jones declined by 2.49%. Crude oil fell by 2.50% and closed at $84.70 a barrel on concern that slowing economic growth in the U.S will crimp fuel consumption by the world’s biggest crude oil consumer. Gold (XAU) declined by 1.40%, closing at $1,784 an ounce as the US Dollar’s rally eroded demand for the metal as an alternative investment. Today, the Unemployment Claims are expected to rise by 419K vs. 428k previously.
Euro (EUR)–The Euro fell against the U.S Dollar due to a decrease in risk aversion after the Fed announced Operation Twist, which includes measures to support the mortgage market.

Overall, the EUR/USD traded with a low of 1.3556 and with a high of 1.3796. Today, the German Flash Manufacturing PMI is expected to show 50.20 vs. 50.90 previously.
