The US dollar is holding up well despite weak US economic data released on Tuesday. Investors shrugged off disappointing US manufacturing data and instead focused on expectations that the European Central Bank would announce further economic stimulus this week.<\/p>\n

The Institute for Supply Management\u2019s headline index of manufacturing activity fell to 48.6 from 50.1 in October \u2014 below expectations and the lowest reading since June 2009.<\/p>\n

The last time the ISM index fell below the 50 mark \u2014 which nominally divides expansion from contraction \u2014 was in November 2012.<\/p>\n

USD\/JPY traded up from 122.82 to 123.07 in Asia, recovering after yesterday\u2019s drop in reaction to the weak US ISM manufacturing data.<\/p>\n

The single currency has retreated steadily from levels close to $1.15 in mid-October to its lowest in seven months amid indications from European Central Bank officials that further steps would be taken to bolster growth and inflation in the Eurozone. EUR\/USD opened in Asia today at 1.0633 but then backed down to 1.0614 in extremely quiet trading.<\/p>
