The US Dollar early on Monday remained steady against a basket of currencies as the market did not yet chose a direction for the coming week. The greenback has lost ground the previous week and there was discussion of whether the dollar lost its appeal as a safe-haven currency while the Swiss Franc is doing much better. The US dollar versus the Japanese Yen has been in a range bound early in the Monday morning between the 85.39 resistance level and the 84.61 support level. Against the Swiss Franc the US dollar is in a downtrend making new lows down to the 0.9057 level and found support there while the 0.9198 level is expected to hold any bounce up. The Australian is in an uptrend from the previous week and created a solid resistance at the 1.0582 level while the 1.0413 level is expected to hold any correction down.

The EURUSD forex pair closed at new highs since October 2010 after the interest rates hike by 25 points.

The Euro touched the 1.4487 resistance level on Friday evening and the 1.4348 level is expected to hold any pull back.
