projections the United States dollar is the most controversial in the past two years, and this only reinforces the value of currency changes and increases the risk of failure of the monetary strategy, reported Bloomberg.
Analytical Redtower Asset Management firm predicts the strengthening of the dollar by the end of 2009 to $ 1.16 per euro from $ 1.3906 to the current background of global economic recovery following the recession. At the same time, Standard Chartered Plc, experts expect that the stabilization of the economy would weaken the dollar to $ 1.55 per euro as the Federal Reserve System (FRS) the USA will not raise interest rates, and investors will sell dollars and invest in more profitable assets.

uncertainty of forecasts leads to increased volatility and increased risk for the so-called transactions carry trade. In such transactions are in debt funds in countries with low interest rates and bought the assets with higher returns, and thus spread the investors profit. In doing so, they run the risk that fluctuations in world currency markets would deprive them of that profit.

The current volatility is more than twice the norm - said last week, Barclays Plc President Robert Diamond. - Volatility could have a devastating impact on corporate profits.
In such a situation, the company asked for advice from an analytical and research firms, but even the professionals are not able to make a reliable forecast.
The best and most expensive professionals of the world simply do not understand what is happening. How one can expect that the Treasury razberutsya companies - said one of the directors of British EasyJet PlcToby Nicholas.
