The euro exchange rate is trading with a noticeable increase against the U.S. dollar , although it has lost some of the previously captured positions .

Today bearish pressure on the dollar strengthened across the board , throwing the euro and other high-risk assets to new heights. Macroeconomic calendar and the U.S., and Europe is now empty, that leaves a couple of players at the mercy of sentiment and risk appetite (which is increasing, making it possible to update highs in 2013 ) .

We also add that , in spite of a slight correction couple keeps fighting spirit against the fading interest of players to the U.S. in the light of the downgrade of the U.S. Chinese agency after reaching an agreement on the budget.

It is worth noting that today's statements by the Fed will cause market participants to catch every hint of further potential Fed actions in anticipation of the large block of macro-economic statistics for the U.S. , which will take place next week. In general, the market expects that the statistics will be released not too positive , in connection with what remains a strong possibility of further extension of the program QE3, which has an adverse effect on the U.S. currency .

The Australian dollar rose significantly against its U.S. counterpart , which has helped to publish data on China .

Data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed that China's economic growth accelerated in the third quarter, which was recorded for the first time in three quarters . Note that this improvement was supported by the efforts of politicians to restructure the economy to achieve sustainable growth in the long term.
