As reported at 1:03 p.m. (JST) on March 30, 2009 in Tokyo, the U.S. Dollar rose against major currencies, as comments about the Euro zone weaker stock markets and fiscal responsibility undermined recent confidence in the market and favored the U. S. Dollar as a safe-haven currency.
After attempts of raising financial sentiments and improving economic, which has helped the Euro and higher yielding currencies, like the Australian Dollar, currency experts said caution had re-surfaced ahead of the interest rate decision by the European Central Bank, meeting of G20 nations and release later this week of important U.S. data.
The Euro saw its biggest 1-day fall against the U.S. Dollar in 2 months on Friday after the Finance Minister of Germany said it is likely to raise credibility concerns if the fiscal responsibility pact in the Euro Zone was not taken seriously.
The Euro slipped by 0.2% against the U.S. Dollar and traded at $1.3260, after losing more than 1.5% on Friday as weak industrial orders in the Euro Zone and inflation data in Germany fanned concerns. The Australian Dollar fell by 1% against the U.S. Dollar and traded at $0.6868. The New Zealand Dollar fell by 1.3% against the U.S. Dollar and traded at a $0.5642.
