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 is the main reason for dollar’s weakness?

选项 A、A series worse-than-expected data were released.
B、German Bundesbank was reluctant to cut rate.
C、Technical factors.
D、All of the above.

答案D

解析 本题在于回答造成美元疲软的主要原因是什么,文中第二段提到the hopes were dashed...cut rate by German Bundesbank。所以D选项符合题意。
