News. The euro gained traction Wednesday after the U.S. Federal Reserve held a key bank lending rate at a record low near zero, and the U.S. Commerce Department said that the U.S. trade deficit edged up slightly in June.

The dollar will strenghten when our economy is attractive and the policies of Washington make sense. Only then will investors buy dollars to invest in the USA and the dollar will appreciate.
