Traditionally a safe bet amid economic mayhem, the dollar climbed about 25% against the euro in the eight months to March this year; the unattractiveness of rival currencies only made it more appealing. But, says Derrick, "that drive seems to be shifting substantially." Sure, a hint of bleak economic data can still goose the greenback - the prospect of poor U.S. payroll figures for June, set for release Thursday, has helped boost the currency in recent days - but optimism in other assets is on the rise.
