The dollar rose against most major currencies, as many investors bought it as a safe asset. Note that the market participants are now pending the issue of the limits of public debt is not the solution of which can seriously harm the economy. U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said that the debt limit was reached on December 31, and "emergency funds", which are now used by countries to pay the bills, will last only until the beginning of March.
Geithner also warned of serious economic difficulties, if Congress does not approve raising the limit. Recall that in 1960 it had already increased 79 times.
