واصلت العملة الأوروبية الموحدة "اليورو" صعودها \
أمام الدولار لتسجل 1.17 دولار وهي نفس القيمة \
التي سجلتها عند انطلاقها لأول مرة منذ أربعة \
أعوام. 

وفي المقابل واصل الدولار انخفاضه الذي تسببت \
فيه في وقت سابق تصريحات لوزير الخزانة \
الأمريكية جون سنو تم تفسيرها على أنها تراجع من \
واشنطن عن سياستها المعلنة من قبل وهي الحفاظ \
على قوة الدولار. 


وَاصَلَتِ العُمْلَةُ الأُورُوبِّيَّةُ \
المُوَحَّدَةُ "اليُورُو" صُعُودَهَا أَمَامَ \
الدُّولَارِ لِتُسَجِّلَ 1.17 دُولَار وَهِيَ \
نَفْسُ القِيمَةِ الَّتِي سَجَلَتْهَا عِنْدَ \
انْطِلَاقِهَا لِأَوَّلِ مَرَّةٍ مُنْذُ \
أَرْبَعَةِ أَعْوّامٍ. 

وَفِي المُقَابِلِ وَاصَلَ الدُّولَارُ \
انْخِفَاضَهُ الَّذِي تَسَبَّبَتْ فِيهِ فِي \
وَقْتٍ سَابِقٍ تَصْرِيحَاتٌ لِوَزِيرِ \
الخِزَانَةِ الأَمْرِيكِيَّةِ جُونْ سْنُو \
تَمَّ تَفْسِيرُهَا عَلَى أَنَّهَا تَرَاجُعٌ \
مِنْ وَاشِنْطُن عَنْ سِيَاسَتِهَا \
المُعْلَنَةِ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَهِيَ الحِفَاظُ \
عَلَى قُوَّةِ الدُّولَارِ.
