The U.S. dollar continues to weaken after yesterday's Fed meeting and Dzh.Yellen speech. Even positive statistics are unable to hold the dollar index, which is currently losing about 0.30%, consolidating at at 80.25. Note that the number of applications for unemployment benefits last week fell to 312 thousand (penultimate values were about 318 thousand; outlook - 314 thousand). U.S. stock markets opened smoothly enough, the percentage change in the index is near zero.
Currency markets perked up noticeably. The EUR/USD soared to around 1.3640. Currency pair GBP/USD sets new highs in the 1.7050. The dollar fell against the franc (USD/CHF) in the area of support 0.8910 and USD/JPY pair is trading just above 101.80 after testing four-days low of 101.70.
