US Dollar Falters in Currency Trading

Greenback struggles against euro in forex trading
The US dollar is faltering in currency trading this morning as more fallout from the financial sector brings more economic worries to the fore and prompts worried speculation.

The euro is surging ahead in forex trading, reaching a new high -- and psychological benchmark -- above the $1.60 level. In addition, the US dollar is dropping against the Japanese yen and further against the Australian dollar.

Other factors that are affecting the US dollar in currency trading on the FX market are geopolitical factors. However, even with oil prices on the rise and tension in the Middle East, the geopolitics are playing second fiddle to the economic carnage the credit market is wreaking on the US dollar.
