Financial data and statistics did not deliver much news. The economic outlook in Japan has improved and the US economy showed impressive resistance to the consequences of the hurricanes.

The US$ tried to break the annual highs against the euro. It has failed to pass the €1.19 mark for the time being, but levels well above €1.20 are expected. Bulls and bears in the greenback market are still paralysing each other, so that the trend leading up to the end of the year is still not clear.
