The US dollar staged quite a turnaround this week despite the lack of any significant data. Over the past few weeks, other central banks have proven to be less hawkish than the market had anticipated while upside surprises in US data continues to give traders confidence that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates at 5.25 percent throughout the first half of the year.
