    US dollar jumped up out of its sideways trading of the last week or so as well. Euro rates unchanged pushing the euro down. At rate rise would have been bad for the dollar.

    Don't trust these figures anyway you cut it - you are dealing with the greatest magicians on earth masters of illusion watch as they make $1 into a billion etc etc.

    In short I suspect it hasn't changed that much they are just reporting more accuratly now they have some good news to divert attention to.
