Greenback retreats in forex trading

The greenback is retreating in forex trading on the currency market today as profit taking ensues. The U.S. dollar is seeing a great deal of profit taking after last week's gains.

"This was clearly illustrated overnight as Asian markets digested comments by the Fed's Bullard, supportive of additional [mortgage-backed securities] purchases." The asset purchases have been viewed as a negative for the U.S. dollar, while stimulus measures in general have helped fuel risk appetite to the advantage of equities and commodities. </blockquote> Other factors that are sending the U.S. dollar lower in currency trading on the FX market include the fact that gold is once again reaching a new high, and that <a href="http://blog.gftuk.com/public/item/245823" target="_blank" title="James Bullard, greenback forex trading, forex trading, currency market, currency trading, U.S. dollar, FX market, equity rally, gold">global equity markets</a> are in the midst of a rally.
