The US Dollar remained relatively strong in the Asia session as it seemed that many investors felt that the worst may be over for the US economy. The consensus is that the Fed was successful in pushing the economy in the right direction. Additionally, recent polls have shown that about 7 in 10 Americans believe that the US Government should do what is necessary to help push along our ''strong dollar policy''. That being said, the dollar was slightly stronger as the night progressed, with ... Source: business-times.asiaone.com --- 4 hours ago
