FX.co ★ EUR/USD. Forecast for October 10, 2013

Yesterday’s positive data on Industrial Production in Germany in August (1.4% vs. 1.1%) could not manage to constrain the press of the US dollar optimists amid the information that Barack Obama nominated Janet Yellen, the current Federal Reserve vice chairman, to succeed Ben S. Bernanke as central bank chairman. The minutes of September’s FOMC meeting showed that the members wanted to get more approving indicators about economic recovery, though they were ready to start QE3 trimming. Probably, the members are waiting for the solution of the debt limit issue. DJIA grew 0.18%, the euro dropped 50 points.
