The dollar has continued to gain strength due to better economic data coming out of the US. A reduction of 200,000 for the unemployed in December and Obama getting his tax cuts through the senate.

Tax cuts are a key to economic growth along with new business start up schemes and grants. Especially those that favour job creation/youth employment.
