hmmm I will go for -675k
I am never close and as I have absolutely any clue I will guess -423,000
-750k
I would guess somewhere near -500k.
Quick question.
Can someone explain to me the correlation between the rise of the S&P 500 and the the weaker dollar in the EUR/USD cross?
Hi Adam,
When risk aversion is heightened (stocks sell off) currencies flows are attracted to the safe haven of the dollar
When sentiment improves/risk appetite returns (stocks go higher) currencies are attracted to higher yielding/riskier currencies and away from the dollar.
So higher S&P means higher EIR/USD (weaker dollar) Hope this helps.
