The US currency continues gaining versus its main counterparts. Yesterday it came close to its 2 week high against the Euro. It also rose against the Pound and Yen.

The reason of such appreciation is a better than expected Core Durable Goods Orders monthly report accompanied by China`s statements that it will keep on maintaining loose monetary policy. It seems that investors were impressed by the 1.1% rise in the Core Orders during June. The difference between the two reports is that the Core report measures the change in the total value of new purchases orders placed with manufacturers for durable goods, excluding transportation items. Orders for aircraft are known to be very volatile, and thus have the potential to distort the underlying trend.

Well! i am puzzled! While reading the reviews, it is seen that the Fed believes that the situation is improving in the economy, it is still the policy to not only continue, but increase the purchases of mortgage backed securities.

The increase puzzled Forex investors looking for direction, it was not expected that the Fed would halt the purchases, but to continue expanding the program, albeit at a slower pace than previous months, was not anticipated.
