Swine Flu affects currencies

portada-gripe-8bs-efeAs if there was little volatility in exchange rates, particularly the euro dollar exchange, now comes this plague which adds further uncertainty to the ailing global economic situation.

Experts have acknowledged that they are little more than lost on the foreign exchange market trends. As if what they hope for the future is a lateral movement, delimited by a band of values between a maximum of 1.34 and a minimum of $ 1.25 per euro. In the medium term is expected, then, that the exchange rate can have abrupt changes up or down but not out of this band.

of the fear of a pandemic makes investors go to the haven currencies like the dollar and the yen, may penalize the euro.
