The dollar gained strength on Tuesday after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced new measures to inject liquidity into the financial system, easing investor's concerns about a deepening credit crisis and a U.S.recession. The dollar rebounded from lows against the euro, yen and the Swiss franc following the announcement of the measures, and many traders are eyeing an extension of this reversal as political pressure mounts in Europe to halt the overvaluing of the euro.

Datawise, Industrial Production is out in Europe today (10:00 AM GMT, followed by the U.S. Treasury Budget later in the evening (06:00 PM GMT). Retail Sales numbers will be published in New Zealand at 09:45 PM GMT.
