Examples of greenback in a Sentence
It is more about greenback weakness as opposed to loonie strength.
If payrolls rise less than 200k, we could see a stronger rally in EUR/USD and a steeper decline in USD/JPY because a weak report would lead investors to think that the Federal Reserve will be more patient with raising interest rates, a stronger report however would be extremely positive for the greenback by hardening expectations for a 2015 rate increase.
