On Wednesday it has been announced by Bank of America that it will pay back the $45 billion it received from the Troubled Assets Relief Program, or TARP.
In response to the positive news from America’s largest bank both the U.S. dollar and euro has shown a rise.
The announcement has highlighted the speedy recovery of U.S. banks that received bailout funds.
While that the changes that has taken place will likely hold, with traders that are waiting for fresh incentives so that currencies could be pushed in new directions, as the summer vacation season begins to reduce trading flows and volatile trading is possible.
Key events that could have their effects on currency markets next week include the summit meeting of leaders from the Group of Eight countries in Italy which would begin from Wednesday.
On one side the negative correlation between equities and commodities markets and on the other side the U.S dollar that has in recent months governed currency trading will likely remain in play, although it’s not anticipated that it will generate enough momentum to push any of the major currencies out of recent trading ranges.
