USD Poised to Extend Yesterday's Gains

The US dollar saw gains against most of its main currency rivals yesterday, as investors chose to focus their attention on the prospect that tax cuts will be extended in the US. The hope is that the tax cuts will help stabilize the struggling US economy. The dollar reacted positively to the news, and spiked against the yen. Whether the dollar can maintain its gains will largely depend on this week's US Unemployment Claims figure, set to be released later in the day.
