Euro Crosses US$1.50

October 21, 2009 12:42 PM EDT

The dollar is showing continued weakness against the Euro today, passing the psychological $1.50 threshold earlier.

The move comes despite European policy makers trying to talk the euro lower in an effort to avoid delaying the fledgling recovery there.

As expected, the dollar weakness is contributing to strength in commodities and the broader equity market.
