The currency pair EUR / USD on Thursday, January 10, continues its upward movement, which was resumed the day before. For the first time in a long time, we can say that the US dollar has collapsed. There were many reasons for this at once, and each of them individually would hardly have caused a strong fall in the dollar. We have already written about them in previous reviews. Among the new factors of the decline in the US currency, we can note the publication of the Fed's protocol, in which the pigeon rhetoric and the doubts about future increases in the key rate were highly expected. Also, several Fed members spoke at once, in particular, the head of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Raphael Bostic, who even made a reduction in the key rate in the future. In general, it seems that the Fed in 2019 will indeed complete the course on tightening monetary policy, which means that the US dollar will lose one of the most important support factors. The beginning of 2019 remains behind the euro currency also because the "shutdown" in the States continues, and the negotiations on the trade conflict with China have so far not been completed with anything positive. In general, quite imperceptibly, the US dollar is turning from an obvious leader almost into the main outsider. The euro has all the chances to continue growth, especially since the technical picture is now also completely on the side of the euro currency.
