While the dollar benefits little from the agreement on the federal deficit, the euro finds itself penalized by analysts' forecasts of a tightening of monetary policy by the Federal Reserve (Fed) in the United States, unlike the Central Bank European Union (ECB).

The Dollar ends the session up slightly (+0.1%) against all currencies with gains of +0.15% against the Euro (1.1270) and the Pound Sterling (1.3240) . The greenback also gained 0.1% against the Swiss Franc but lost against the Yen...despite a +4Pts increase in the yield of T-Bonds against the Japanese 10-year, still frozen at 0.000%. The greenback only marginally benefited from rumors of an agreement to raise the US debt ceiling.

Meanwhile, the euro was weakening against the US dollar. Around 8:10 p.m. GMT, the euro lost 0.20% to 1.1262 dollars for one euro, the lowest in a week, approaching a little closer to its low for the year reached at the end of November at 1.1186 dollars. .
