Currency Exchange - Investors Snub America
As the US dollar continues its downward trajectory on the currency exchange markets, more investors are turning to alternative currencies that offer a higher rate of return.
The dollar is under extreme pressure on the foreign currency exchange market. The business pages are full of stories detailing the continued decline of the dollar, the negative currency exchange rates for Americans, and the epic economic crisis that's currently gripping the US. The collapse of the sub-prime housing market in the States sent shockwaves throughout the global economy, from the currency exchange market through to the property market.
Currency Exchange – Dollar Still Vulnerable
The vulnerability of the dollar on the currency exchange market is highlighted by the fact investors are looking elsewhere. One investor – Jim Rogers, a former investor partner of George Soros – was reported in the press as saying he was going to sell his home and all his possession in order to buy Chinese currency – the Yuan. This is because the Yuan is expected to grow in strength and offer higher rates of return then currency such as the dollar which is struggling to stay afloat in the sluggish US economy.
Dollar Dips on Currency Exchange Market
The dollar is feeling the heat on the foreign currency exchange as new evidence of a weakening US economy stokes the fire of speculation. The dollar is so low that on the currency exchange it dropped to a remarkable $2.10 against the pound, plummeting to record lows. The currency exchange rate is impacting on imports, and the Pentagon slashed orders for new planes and military hardware recently. The $2.10 currency exchange rate was last witnessed back in 1981 and amidst speculation that China may shift its foreign reserves out of dollars, the outlook is still bleak. The vice chairman of China's National People's Congress was quoted as saying at a Beijing conference that China would "favour stronger currencies over weaker ones, and readjust accordingly".
Across the currency exchange there is a negative dollar sentiment generally due to the on-going credit crunch.
