Weakness in the euro is contributing to the dollar's recovery, as the search for a safe haven favors the US, analysts say. The euro fell to a 10-month low last month, with worries about Greece's sovereign risk spilling over into Portugal and Spain.

The debt problems of Greece exposed a flaw at the heart of European economic and monetary union, according to Chandler. The US economy surprised everyone with a 5.7% annualized rate of growth in gross domestic product in the fourth quarter of 2009, says Peter Hall, chief economist at Export Development Canada. The fourth-quarter US growt...

Forex traders always are looking for opportunities and in the current economic environment of uncertainty and extreme negative US dollar sentiment, two currencies are compelling: the Canadian and Australian dollars.

The output gap-the deviation of output from potential output-has played an important role in the conduct of monetary policy in Canada. This paper reviews the Bank of Canada's definition of potential output, as well as the use of the output gap in monetary policy. Using a real-time staff economic projection dataset from 1994 through 2005, a period during which the staff used the Quarterly Projection Model to construct economic projections, the authors investigate the relationship between shocks (data revisions or real-time projection errors) and revisions to projections of key macroeconomic variables. Of particular interest are the interactions between shocks to real gross domestic product (GDP) and inflation and revisions to the level of potential output, potential growth, the output ga...
