Forex: Wednesday's review

The dollar fell against most of its major counterparts on speculation central banks in Europe and the U.K. will seek to combat inflation from rising fuel costs by increasing interest rates before the Federal Reserve.

The euro climbed to an almost three-week high versus the greenback. 
The pound gained versus the dollar as minutes of the Bank of England’s Feb. 10 meeting showed an additional policy maker backed an increase in rates. 
European Central Bank policy makers will make the decisions necessary to maintain price stability, ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet told reporters today. The ECB will “inevitably” have to “rebalance our monetary policy stance,” with the 17-nation euro-area economy strengthening and inflation in breach of the central bank’s 2% limit, council member Yves Mersch said yesterday, without giving a time frame.
Governments rushed to evacuate thousands of expatriates from Libya as army units defected and a former aide to the leader Muammar Qaddafi warned that the spreading revolt may topple the regime within days. The nation holds Africa’s largest crude reserves.

Sterling gained after minutes of the Bank of England’s Feb. 10 rate decision showed Spencer Dale joined Andrew Sentance and Martin Weale in voting for higher rates as an increasing number of officials said the case for tightening policy had “grown in strength.” The central bank has held the rate at 0.5% since March 2009.

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
