In their September 2017 Currency Outlook report, Tempus, an exchange rate and global payments company, provides a detailed report including the following topics and sections:

In Brief

  • Revisions of second quarter US GDP showed higher level of growth than anticipated
  • Brexit negotiations start up again, but have gone nowhere
  • Stock indexes thrived, hitting all-time records
  • North Korea continues to flex nuclear muscle
  • Long, expensive recovery underway in Houston after Hurricane Harvey

In Focus

  • Euro is the second best preforming currency of 2017, turnaround likened to the USD’s 2014 surge

The View – U.S. Economy faces challenges

  • Lack of inflationary growth in the U.S. creates feeling of stagnancy
  • Natural disaster caused by hurricanes add additional uncertainty
  • Labor sector is solid with increase of average hourly earnings against last year
  • Japanese Yen and Swiss Franc climbed 2.5%, a trend which is anticipated to continue
  • Difficulties continue as talks over Brexit have not yet given clear conclusions of important issues
