The US Federal Reserve, for example, is aggressively cutting interest rates to forestall a possible recession. As a consequence, the euro is rising not only against the US dollar, but also against Asian currencies, whose central banks intervene in foreign exchange markets to fix their currencies’ value against the dollar.
欧洲与美国之间的联系显然比那些鼓吹脱藕的人想象的要复杂得多。比如说，美联储正在越来越频繁地降低利率以预先阻止可能的衰退的发生。其结果是，不但是欧元对美元的汇率正变得越来越高，同时欧元对亚洲国家货币的汇率也在提高，那些国家的央行对外汇市场进行干预以便使它们的货币对美元的比率固定在一定的水平。
