问题     Date: 26 Jan. 1993
    From: the Kwangtung provincial bank, H. K.
    Corporate division-treasury
    Foreign exchange market:
    Dollar continued its weakness and dropped almost two pfennigs against mark on Monday dealing.
    Traders’ sentiment was changing greatly. At the beginning of this year, dollar rallied due to positive sentiment that the economy would recover in the expected fashion and German interest rate would ease soon. However, the hopes were dashed after a series worse-than-expected data were released and reluctance to cut rate by German Bundesbank. It seemed that the present us-German interest rate differential would be unlikely to narrow. On Monday trading, technical factor drove dollar further lower and it was quoted as low as 1.57 marks.
    Some dealers were quite bearish towards dollar, expecting it to ease further to 1.55 even 1.53 level in near future. Dollar also performed weak against Japanese yen. Dealers claimed that the talk of Japanese interest rate cut had been discounted, adding almost no pressure on the Japanese yen. Meanwhile, market was turning focuse on trade balance. Due to huge surplus, dealers believed that the yen should be stronger.  During intraday dealing, the dollar was once quoted as low as 122. 75 yen.
What made dealers believe that the yen should be stronger?

选项 A、The dollar’s weakness.
B、The huge surplus in trade balance.
C、Japanese interest rate cut.
D、The market’ focus turning on it.

答案B

解析 文章最后一段提到Due to huge surplus,...yen should be stronger。所以B选项正确。
