It was really an uneventful day for the dollar as most traders digested the day's economic data but instead decided on waiting for further confirmation that the U.S. economy is indeed really picking up. This is significant because should the economy begin to rebound then the Fed will begin to raise interest rates to make sure we don't overheat. An increase in interest rates makes the dollar more attractive to foreign investors. To add to the confusion we had a mixed reading from the Commerce Department, which reported that U.S. retail sales rose 0.7 percent in July thanks to a pick-up in auto buying. Although this was below what most economists were expecting, upward revisions to June's numbers helped soothe fears. The big news of the day will undoubtedly be Dell Inc., which announced stellar performance for the last quarter, but more importantly has a good outlook for the quarter ahead. Dell is already up in premarket trading. Could Dell's good news be the catalyst for a much needed bounce in this oversold market?

While consumer spending has weakened slightly recently, business investment is solid and healthier corporate earnings are leading to increased confidence in the stock market. Unemployment is also declining, which lays strong foundations and bodes well for a sustained economic improvement. The International Monetary Fund has picked up on Japan's resurgence and just raised the country's growth forecast this year from 3.4% to 4.5%. This is quite a drastic upward revision, and time will tell whether it's ultimately too optimistic. But the IMF justified its decision by saying the country's long and painful deflationary spiral is finally relenting, with deflation "ebbing to zero" by the end of 2005. However, it's worth noting that Japan's economy faces the same risks as many other countries: soaring oil prices and terrorist threats. In addition, rising interest rates and/or economic slowdowns abroad, plus high debt levels within Japan's financial sector (although this is steadily declining) could also block progress.
