THE MICRO VIEW
An excerpt from this Reuters article:
The dollar sank to a record low against the euro on Monday (Asian markets) as investors said the acquisition of Bear by JPMorgan showed the seriousness of the problems faced by U.S. financial markets.
“Flight-to-quality buying is boosting gold as the market is losing faith in the dollar,” said Tatsuo Kageyama, analyst at Kanetsu Asset Management in Tokyo.
“The market is completely bearish on the dollar. The market is also very pessimistic about the dollar’s outlook.”
THE MACRO VIEW
