The dollar has continued to fall Thursday, with the mood surrounding the currency not helped by depositors\u2019 confidence seemingly draining away from First Republic Bank <\/span><\/span> (NYSE:) after it revealed $100 billion in customer withdrawals last month.<\/p>\n

Its shares slumped 30% on Wednesday, adding to similar losses the previous session, raising questions about its long-term viability as well as the extent of future lending from similar U.S. regional lenders if they choose to hoard cash.<\/p>\n

U.S. politicians also continue to struggle to agree on whether to raise the country\u2019s $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, prompting U.S. sovereign CDS spreads to rise as investors take out hedges against default. <\/p>\n

The euro has been one of the main beneficiaries of this dollar weakness, with rising 0.1% to 1.1046, edging back toward the overnight peak at 1.1096, the highest since April of last year.<\/p>\n

German consumer sentiment rose on Wednesday, with the forward-looking climbing for the seventh increase in a row, on signs that the eurozone\u2019s largest economy is set to escape falling into recession this year.<\/p>\n

The is also expected to raise interest rates next week, but with the European economy showing signs of recovery and the region\u2019s banking sector seen as more resilient, the central bank is likely to continue hiking rates into the summer, supporting the single currency.<\/p>\n
