The FireVu detectors are early warning visual detection devices for smoke, flame and heat* seen within their field of view. FireVu holds patents for its flame detection algorithm in the UK (GB2535409), Europe (EP3080788) and the USA (US9530074B2).
FireVu’s innovative method of measuring the colour and intensity of flame in an image results in exceptional detection rates, exceptional detection range and zero false alarms. It is superior to all other visual flame detectors on the market which rely on flicker. Other manufacturers claim to correlate colour and flicker but they are unable to eliminate false alarms. FireVu’s flame detection uses the laws of physics, and in particular Planck’s Law which results in an accurate determination. It is also able to identify the break-out of fire much earlier than conventional systems that rely on physical contact between a detector and the off-gas or smoke.
Furthermore, FireVu segments the field of view, significantly helping operators to identify the origin point of the fire, aiding efforts to extinguish the threat.
FireVu’s flame detection system is ideal for the early detection and warning of smoke and flame in industrial processes which use motors, conveyor belts, bearings, moving parts, hot substrate and flammable materials. By example; in Waste Management and Processing, Steel, Paper, Utilities, Petrochemical, Waste to Energy, and Power Generation. It can also be effectively installed in retail outlets and on high-rise developments. FireVu is also ideal for detecting smoke and flame in large voluminous areas such as Aircraft Hangars, Warehousing and Atriums.
In addition to the smoke and flame detection provided by the FireVu Detector, the Multi-Detector adds a thermopile array for additional verification by the ability to detect rising temperatures in machinery or plant outside normal operationally expected levels.

Cloud technology has literary changed the way we handle everything, particularly from a computational perspective. In this post, we will take a look at this great technology, and discuss the impact it has brought about.
What is cloud technology
Cloud technology has many definitions, with the most common ones losing focus on the primary technology—with complex explanations, which are usually focused on marketing.
The concept of cloud technology is where you get to use computer processing power and storage capacity, which you don’t have on a physical level. For example, if you have a computer with an internal storage capacity of 100GB, and you want to copy images that total to 250GB from an external hard drive to your internal hard drive—then it is impossible. But with cloud technology, you can buy cloud storage, then upload the images there. Whenever you need the images, all you have to do is connect to the cloud and view them on a web browser, or specialized software.
What you have to understand is that you are buying a service that allows you to remotely access computers that are in a remote location via the internet—hence there is no real cloud, just other computers on the other end.
Impact of cloud technology
Cloud technology has brought about a lot of changes, most of them being merits. Here are some of the most significant ones.
Cheap computation infrastructure
Compared to the olden days, it is straightforward for a business to acquire advanced computation facilities without having to buy expensive computer hardware. For instance, instead of a company buying a server to host and facilitate their business, they can just subscribe to a cloud service for a small monthly fee. When the need arises, and the company increases their operations, then the cloud services can be easily scaled up by paying for more resources, downgrades are also possible when needed.
With cloud technology, it has become very easy to collaborate, especially in the office environment. For instance, managers from various departments can update a given file in real time, with no geographical barriers. This is very important especially if different agencies need collaboration.
Rather than buying your computer hardware, and employing a security personnel, or hiring a third party for security, it makes more sense to use cloud services, where security is handled by the cloud company. Cloud companies will have access to the best security resources.…Read More


Perhaps like the two dozen or so runners who”ve completed all 23 editions of the Big Sur International Marathon, there must be cyclists around who have participated each of the previous 18 years in the Sea Otter Classic.
Alison Dunlap isn”t one of them. It just seems like two-time Olympian has been riding her mountain bike around the Peninsula forever.
Approaching her 40th birthday in July, Dunlap will be back for the 19th annual Sea Otter Classic. The four-day festival encompassing recreational and professional cycling on roads and trails begins Thursday at Laguna Seca Recreation Area.
More than three years into retirement from a career that included 14 national titles in four cycling disciplines and four overall Sea Otter Classic titles, Dunlap will continue her coaching, clinics and ambassador roles at this year”s event.
But the outgoing former world titlist who lives in Colorado Springs, Colo., with her husband Greg Frozley, has also decided to return to competition this fall in a series of professional cyclo cross races.
Dunlap, who first raced in the Sea Otter Classic in 1997, says failure isn”t an option.
“I just fully expect myself to be back at the top,” Dunlap said. “For whatever reason if it doesn”t work out this year, I”ll probably give it another year. If it doesn”t pan out after two years of racing, then maybe I”ll just back off.”
Although she hasn”t competed at Sea Otter in recent years (and won”t this year), Dunlap”s popularity in cycling has prompted the successful charity component of her team, sponsored by LUNA.
For the past five years, the women”s nutrition products manufactured by CLIF bar, has conducted an auction for a week”s position with the team at Sea Otter Classic. The winner gets airfare to the event, meals, a bike, team apparel and is Dunlap”s roommate. According to the team”s Web site, the auction has raised more than $70,000 for the Breast Cancer Fund.
Dunlap also conducts mountain adventure camps in Moab, Utah, clinics at mountain bike races around the country and coaches privately. She works and trains with her husband, but she was still seeking something “a little more exciting.” She missed the fun of competition.
Cyclo cross, a cycling hybrid, was the answer. It combines riding on hilly roads, through muddy and rutted terrain and over obstacles with athletes sometimes carrying their bikes. Races are held on enclosed circuits and usually last 30 minutes to one hour.
“I think I can be competitive,” said Dunlap, a former six-time national cyclo cross titlist. “I”m just going to, you know, work like crazy and train like crazy to get to that level. But mentally I know how to race at that level. I know how to win bike races. I think physically getting the body to that point will be a lot of hard work. But I”m pretty confident I”ll be up there duking it out for the win with all those girls.”
Dunlap”s career zenith occurred in September 2001. She wasn”t the favorite at the mountain bike world championships in Vail, Colo. But after events were postponed following the Sept. 11 attack, Dunlap emerged at the front of the women”s cross country final. She was wearing the stars-and-stripes jersey as the reigning national champion.
As she approached the finish, Dunlap was handed a large American flag which she carried across the finish line. Dunlap then got off her bike, still holding the flag, fell to her knees and kissed the ground. It was five days after Sept. 11.
The image transcended cycling. Dunlap”s victory circumstances became a symbol of patriotism, and the picture is still widely available on the Internet and is sold as a poster.
“I have my jersey framed and the picture is right in front of me at my office desk,” she said. “I see it everyday. I was just thinking it”s been almost eight years, but it still seems like it happened a week ago. It was just such a powerful experience. I can relive every minute of that whole race. It”s still that fresh in my mind.”
Dunlap competed in 1996 Summer Olympic in road cycling, finished a disappointing 37th in the road race outside of Atlanta and considered retirement. But after beginning a relationship with her now husband, a former pro mountain biker, Dunlap began switching her cycling emphasis from asphalt to dirt.
Dunlap vividly recalls her first race at the Sea Otter Classic.
“I remember (multiple Norwegian world champion) Gunn-Rita (Dahle) won the race and Caroline Alexander (of Great Britain) was second and I got third,” Dunlap said. “I crossed the finish line and I said ”That”s the hardest thing I”ve ever done on a bike.” I think I raced it every year since.”
Dunlap won her first World Cup race in Budapest, Hungary, in her fourth international race in 1997, and her career quickly accelerated. She won international, multi-day road races and steadily added to her national title collection in mountain biking. She won at least one race at the Sea Otter Classic for six straight years beginning in 1999 and the last of her overall titles in 2004.
“I love Sea Otter; I always did well,” said Dunlap. “I loved the stage race format. I always raced well multiple days in a row. I could do well at Sea Otter. Now it”s two races and they”re not combined. But at least they have it, and it”s probably one of the longest-running mountain bike events. It”s pretty impressive that they”ve been able to keep that thing going.”
If you go ·What: Sea Otter Classic ·When: Thursday-Sunday ·Where: Laguna Seca Recreation Area ·Tickets: $10 daily; $30 (four-day pass); Active/retired military and families, 2-for-1 (ID Required). ·More info: www.seaotter classic.com


text: A new boat for the inter-island cargo ferry service could be in the country by early June. Port Authority chairman Allison Lewis said a vessel has been identified and approval is being sought from the Ministry of Works to proceed with its inspection.Businessman Dale Mcleod, who earlier this month said he had been able to source a vessel, said he had received a letter from the Port Authority indicating that the MV La Caracola, which is currently at Port Cabello in Venezuela, is being considered. McLeod said the letter from the Port was timely because he had until midday today to tell the vessel’s owners whether there was an interest. He said once Port officials are satisfied the vessel could be in the country by June 2 or 3. The cost to lease it is US$13,500 a month for six months. The compares with the cost for the Atlantic Provider and Trinity Transporter of US$22 million. McLeod said the MV La Caracola can carry 123 passengers and 100 trucks as well as 20- foot containers and flat racks.

Ashton Kutcher took the stage at the Winter TCA today with the rest of the cast of Two and a Half Men, plus creator Chuck Lorre, to talk about the current state of the CBS series. Kutcher's new haircut and clean shave were in the spotlight, and he revealed that the new look is going to be a plot point on the show. Lorre also talked about Charlie Sheen, and Kutcher's costars Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones also chimed in about the comedy series.
- Kutcher's scruffy beard and long hair were missing when he took to the stage, and a reporter asked him to explain the clean-cut look. It sounds like it's Walden's fault he's cleaned up: "It's related to the show completely. Tune in Monday." As to why Walden was introduced to the show with long hair and scruff, Kutcher explains that that's just how he looked when the show started: he "was starting to get shaggy," so "we just kind of kept it," but it was always planned that Walden would get cleaned up. After being "shaggy" for so long, Kutcher says that "it's pretty funny" looking in the mirror now.
- Lorre was asked about former star Charlie Sheen, whom he famously feuded with last year. He had kind words, saying, "I wish him well . . . I'm glad he's sober and happy and healthy." He also admitted that he "absolutely considered" ending the show when Sheen left, and when asked what changed his mind, he pointed next to him and replied: "Ashton Kutcher."
- Kutcher was asked to compare Walden with his That '70s Show character Kelso, and mentioned that Walden is "quicker, smarter, and brighter" than Kelso, but he thinks the comparisons are mostly due to his acting. "I'm sure I have my own comedic tone and delivery" and it's "probably that overtone" that people are responding to.
- Cryer said that "the Walden/Allen relationship is completely different," than the one between Allen and Charlie in one distinct way: "They're friends." Jones humbly explained how things have changed for him, saying "I'm really just along for the ride. I just go to high school, do normal things."


Whether we’re looking at undersea tunnels, or bridges, or communication cables on the seafloor, human-made structures are encroaching on the seas and oceans at an ever-increasing rate. A recent study from Nature Sustainability has estimated that humankind has now built over 32,000 square kilometers or 12,000 square miles.
This includes everything from human-made islands to so-called “aquaculture farms,” which are farms built floating on the shoreline. To put it in a frame of reference, 12,000 square miles is larger than the state of Maryland or the country of Belgium. And the rate at which this construction footprint is growing is picking up the pace, estimated to add another 7,800 square kilometers by 2028.
Researchers for the University of Sydney, Australia, have expressed concerns about the impact these human-made structures have on marine life. “I’m gravely concerned about the damage that we’re doing to the marine environment,” said Louise Firth, a marine ecologist at the University of Plymouth, U.K., who was not involved in the study. Yet, she says she sees the study as “a great first step.”
One of the researchers on the study, Ana Bugnot, wrote: “There’s an idea that the ocean is vast, and no matter what we do, we’ll never destroy it. If we can get an estimate of how much we’ve damaged the environment in a number, people are more likely to pay attention.”
Agriculture and farms are the biggest culprits at present. Still, other large structures, including offshore windmills, which we wrote about on Powertools a few weeks ago, and tidal farms are expected to grow by 208% year over year.
“At no point in this article are we saying, ‘You have to stop all marine construction.’ That’s just not going to happen,” said Bugnot. “It’s about finding compromises.”

Let's Wait to Get Excited About Tech Tattoos Until the Real Ones Arrive
For now, we've basically got access to flat FitBits. But tats could get very useful once their data-collecting functions expand.
Dilettante biohackers were thrilled about the “tech tattoos” unveiled last week by design firm Chaotic Moon Studios, which promise the data-collecting ability of a FitBit without the burden of wearing a conspicuous wristband. For people who already use smart devices to track their vital signs, the tats represent a (conceptual, not-for-sale) step toward to a future where the term “wearable tech” will be redundant. For everyone else, the tats are just another way to collect data we’ll never use.
That will change.
The proposed temporary tattoos are essentially a cluster of sensors that collect whatever information it can from the surface of the skin, packaged together in a circuitboard design reminiscent of what Matrix-age designers considered “futuristic.” Right now, given the state of wearable tech development, they’re pretty much limited to collecting the same kind of information as a JawBone or Apple Watch — data like heart rate, calorie burn, sleep patterns, and temperature. This is useful information, but it’s also already available to the sorts of people who want to make active decisions based on it.
But as the tattoos find more dynamic applications, they’ll also find a wider audience. Chaotic Moon’s explainer video suggests that giving physicians access to a constant stream of their patients’ biometric data could ultimately eliminate the need for annual checkups, making basic healthcare more efficient and less time-consuming. And once identification and data can be embedded in the circuitry, the tattoos could replace credit cards and IDs to make banking more secure, according to the designers.
The logic here is hard to argue with. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean the designers are making a good argument, just that we don’t know what the hurdles to creating more useful skin-tech might be.
Biohackers have already figured out how to store basic identity information in their bodies by surgically implanting RFID chips, which can hold the kind of data needed to open car doors, unlock phones, and, if institutions like the TSA ever get on board, wave through security checks. Chaotic Moon doesn’t mention the chips but should probably consider them, considering they can be as small as rice grains and don’t need to be surgically implanted. Without RFID-level data collecting or storage functions, the tech tats are really no more useful than any smart device on the market. With the RFID chips, they’re offering different, non-interacting services.
Any wearable tech device is only as useful as the data it collects. As biometric sensors develop ways to gather and store more information and institutions like banks, schools, and airports figure out how to use that data, tech tattoos might eventually surpass their current status as mere novelties and actually become the unobtrusive, time-saving, identity-securing devices they’re meant to be. For now, however, they’re nothing but slimmed-down fitness trackers for people channeling their inner ‘90s cyborg.
But they don’t look too bad, which is promising.

For those who suffer with fibromyalgia, the pain can sometimes be intense. There have been situations in which those who have intense pain suffer from mild seizures.
For these people, the effect of the illness on the immune system is what causes the body to go into a seizure. To be clear, fibromyalgia does not cause seizures. It is the effect of fibromyalgia on the immune system that could lead to seizure like activity for the sufferer.
What Type of Seizures Can a Person Have?
For those select few who have immune system related seizures, they are going to find that the seizure is not what you would expect with a “seizure”.
Most people do not go into convulsing, they simply space out. These are referred to as absence seizures. The older term for the seizure is petit mal seizures. What happens when this occurs?
Most people will simply have a lapse in awareness and stare straight ahead. They will not respond to those who are talking to them until they snap out of this. These can be relatively short.
In fact, the majority of people who have these types of seizures are going to find that they or others may not even notice these. The person may simply look as though they are daydreaming.
Other signs of this is that the person may turn their eyes upward or they may have fluttering eyelids. In most cases, the seizure may last for less than ten seconds.
Why Do These Happen?
A lowered immune system is often the leading reason for these absence seizures. When a person has a lowered immune system, their body is often working overtime in order to ensure the person stays healthy.
There can be times in which the immune system simply needs a break. As a result of this, the brain may shut off for a few seconds, causing the seizure. As those who suffer with fibromyalgia know, it greatly affects the immune system.
The reason for this is that the person is usually in a constant state of pain. This pain wreaks havoc on the immune system. Therefore, many of those who suffer with fibromyalgia are more likely to get colds and flus during the year when they are going around.
Can Seizures Be Prevented?
It is important to note that not everyone who has fibromyalgia will suffer with a seizure. In many cases, those who do have seizures are dealing with more than just one illness.
In order to prevent these seizures from happening, most of those who suffer with fibromyalgia are going to do whatever they can in order to keep their immune system in top notch shape. They may take Vitamin C on a daily basis in hope of boosting this immune system.
In severe cases in which seizures are still happening, a medication specifically to help this is usually the course of treatment. There are several of these medications on the market, however, the one that most people are interested in is Keppra.
What is Keppra?
Keppra is the brand name of levetiracetam. It was mainly designed to give to children who are also taking other medications in order to treat epilepsy and other types of seizures. It was also found to be rather helpful for those who are suffering with what is called tonic-clonic seizures.
This medication works by moderating the transmission of nerves signals in the brain. In turn, the person is going to have less and less seizures. It was approved by the FDA in 1999. However, there are some safety and warning labels that need to be taken into consideration before using this.
Warnings and Side Effects with Keppra
There is a huge risk for those who take Keppra to develop aggressive behavior, along with feeling angry, anxious, depressed and apathetic.
It can make the person seem as though they have developed a new personality, which does happen to many who are surprised at this warning.
There can also be serious dermatological issues that happen such as the skin starting to peel off in sheets, and developed Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
For young children, this medication has been known to increase blood pressure. However, for most of those who are taking this who do have fibromyalgia this is not something in which they must worry about.
There are also a small number of people who have reported having suicidal thoughts and actions while they are using this medication.
It is advised that if you are taking this medication that you call your doctor if you find that you have changes in your behavior that include:
- Problems sleeping
- Panic attacks
- Restless feeling or agitated
- Aggression or acting out the violence that you feel
- Having dangerous impulses and acting out on these
Those who are prescribed this medication need to mention to their doctor if they want to stop this. Those who simply stop taking this without the help of a doctor may find that they have non-stop seizures due to stopping this suddenly.
The common side effects of this medication that are not considered life threatening include:
- Nasal congestion
- Decreased appetite
- Feeling tired
Most doctors find that these side effects last for the first four weeks of taking this medication then subside or disappear altogether.
For those who are diagnosed with fibromyalgia, Keppra may be given to them after their symptoms are not responding to other medications on the market.
There are still several studies being done to determine just how much Keppra could help a patient with fibromyalgia. However, those who have been taken this medication find that it can ease or completely erase the burning pain that they have throughout their bodies.
Other people who have fibromyalgia as a secondary illness, find that this medication greatly helps their overall feeling and subsides their seizures as well. It is definitely a medication to consider for those who are looking for something new that could help.

SEATTLE -- Dustin Ackley, who entered Sunday hitting just .108, is reverting back to the batting style that he used in the Minors, one that earned him his promotion to the big leagues in 2011. It's simplified, more erect, quiet and involves less pre-pitch movement.
"All the players here, it's their careers. The choices they make, they have to be all-in on,'' Wedge said. "Our job is to help steer them in the right direction. Regardless of what they decide what they are going to do, we're going to help them with 100 percent of our time, energy and passion.
"Dustin decided to make a few adjustments and hopefully get him back to the same basics that got him to the big leagues. I think it's going to pay off for him."

The latest offering from Messrs Spielberg and Williams will not likely rank as the best, at least score wise. Critical reaction to Williams' score to The Lost World was mixed at best, although the film and music failed to live up to expectations. Amistad is a much more mature film and hence has a much more grown up score. It gets off to a flying start with the fantastic anthem, Dry Your Tears, Afrika, which mixes some ethnic percussion with John Williams trumpet and horn fanfares as well as a moderately sized choir. Williams mixes the American orchestra with the African vocals extremely well. I wonder if it was meant to represent the mixing of the two cultures in the film. If so, I feel he achieved it much more subtly than Goldsmith's mixing of African, Irish and English in his score for The Ghost and the Darkness. Following are two tracks that are somewhat reminiscent of the more jungle orientated music of The Lost World, although in this case, much more subdued, but equally thrilling. It mixes in some low African vocals that actually recall the Monks from Seven Years in Tibet. Cinque's Theme is a nice, if somewhat unmemorable melody that is difficult to make out when it occurs at other times in the score.
The second half of the score almost totally eschews the African elements in favour of Copland-esque Americana, with solo trumpets and the like. This turn is represented best at the beginning of The Long Road to Justice where the new tone is boldly stated. The tone is also much more upbeat. It stays upbeat for much of the rest of the score, although July 4, 1839 returns to the much more sombre style of the first half. Strangely, this contains a brief string motif that appeared in Seven Years in Tibet, which for a Williams score is an odd occurrence. Mr Adams Takes the Case reintroduces the Americana with trumpet solos that occasionally hint at Horner's Apollo 13 score, which is most unusual. This is quite a long track that presumably underscores a great deal of dialogue and so it loses its way a little at times. The Liberation of Lomboko provides the only other full rendition of Dry Your Tears, Afrika other than the first and last tracks. This is somewhat less percussive, but a very lively and thrilling arrangement and is a good way to lift the spirits after a short return to the sadder music in La Amistad Remembered. Rounding off the CD is another rendition of Dry Your Tears, Afrika that doesn't include the solo female vocal at the start as the opening track does, but otherwise is the same piece. I think the inherent problem of the type of film is perhaps the biggest drawback to this score. Long dialogue sequences are tough to score as they can't be too aimless (which, thankfully, is generally avoided here), but they don't want to drown out what is probably a very fine performance from Anthony Hopkins or whoever. As this is John Williams, he manages to keep the ball rolling quite nicely and while some listeners may find it drags a little I find it a quite refreshing diversification for Williams from his more blockbusting style.

Stonewall 50: Episode 1: Prelude to a Riot
Summary: Conflict has context. In this first episode of Making Gay History’s Stonewall 50 season, we hear stories from the pre-Stonewall struggle for LGBTQ rights. We travel back in time to hear voices from the turbulent 1960s and take you to the tinderbox that was Greenwich Village on the eve of an uprising. If you’d like a primer on Stonewall, here is a handy factsheet that Making Gay History co-produced. The final page has more resources if you’d like to dig a bit deeper. To find out more about some of the people featured in this episode and the times in which they lived, check out the following Making Gay History episodes and the accompanying episode notes: Frank Kameny, Barbara Gittings and Kay Lahusen (part 1 and part 2), Randy Wicker and Marsha P. Johnson, Ernestine Eckstein, and Sylvia Rivera (part 1 and part 2). Craig Rodwell will be featured more extensively in upcoming episodes, but he also makes an appearance in our episode about Dick Leitsch, with whom Craig Rodwell was in a relationship during their early days at Mattachine. Many of our previous episodes include interviews with LGBTQ trailblazers who became active in the movement pre-Stonewall. To learn more about the founders of some of the early U.S. homophile organizations, have a listen to our episodes with Harry Hay, founder of the Mattachine Society; Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, co-founders of the Daughters of Bilitis; and Dorr Legg, Martin Block, and Jim Kepner, who spearheaded ONE.

Euro to US Dollar (EUR/USD) Exchange Rate Rises as German Retail Sales Beat Forecasts in November
The Euro to US Dollar (EUR/USD) exchange rate rose by 0.2% today, with the pairing currently trading around $1.22.
The Euro (EUR) rose today following the release of the latest German Retail Sales report for November, which indicate a strong 2020 as the figure rose by 5.6% year-on-year.
Analysts at Reuters presented a more cautious picture for the German economy, however, saying:
‘The Statistics Office said its provisional full-year retail sales growth figure – contrasting with an expected drop of 5.5% in gross domestic product, according to Bundesbank data – included December’s full lockdown.
‘It also said the estimate was “freighted with greater uncertainties” than usual due to the pandemic.’
Today also saw the release of the German Unemployment Rate for December, which confirmed consensus at 6.1%.
However, as Germany has extended its national lockdown, Euro investors are becoming increasingly concerned about the Eurozone’s largest economy going forward.
US Dollar (USD) Sinks on Positive Risk Sentiment
The US Dollar (USD) has continued to be undermined by positive risk sentiment.
With new Covid-19 vaccine rollouts across Europe, the UK and the US, global markets are more optimistic that we could see a slowing down of coronavirus infections in the coming months.
Additionally, demand for the US Dollar has slipped on growing optimism that the Democrats could win seats in Georgia’s Senate.
This would hand President-elect Joe Biden a majority to pass a US stimulus package.
However, US President Donald Trump warned:
‘If the liberal Democrats take the Senate and the White House – and they’re not taking this White House. [W]e’re going to fight like hell.’
As a result, USD investors are remaining cautious, as a flare up in US political developments could further limit the appeal of the US Dollar.
In US economic news, today will see the release of December’s ISM Manufacturing PMI.
As a result, we could see downward pressure on ‘Greenback’ increase if US domestic manufacturing activity took a fall last month.
EUR/USD Outlook: Could Improving Risk Sentiment Continue to Drag Down the US Dollar?
Euro (EUR) investors will be awaiting tomorrow’s publication of the latest flash German inflation data for December.
Any signs of the German economy, which is the largest in the Eurozone, improving could buoy the single currency.
Tomorrow will also see the release of the final Eurozone PMI Composite for December.
Again, if this shows any signs of steady growth in the bloc’s economy, we could see EUR rise.
Meanwhile, US Dollar (USD) traders will be awaiting tomorrow’s publication of the latest ADP Employment Change figure for December.
If this shows an increase in US unemployment, then we could see the ‘Greenback’ continue to struggle.
The EUR/USD exchange rate will continue to be driven by global risk sentiment this week.
If Covid-19 vaccines continue to promise a stronger economic rebound this year, we could see USD continue to fall.
