The US trade deficit - a key concern for President George W Bush's second term - exceeded $50bn for the fourth month in a row in September.

The US currency has been weakening for much of the past year, pressured by worries over the US' record $427bn budget deficit.

Carsten Fritsch, an economist with German bank Commerzbank, said he expected the euro to rise to a level of $1.35 within the next six months.
