What will be the value of the Euro in US$ on Friday December 4, 2009?

Settled as 1 € = 1.4801 to 1.4900 US$

One Euro equaled 1.4857 USD on Friday, 12/04

Background:

Background: The Euro, once worth less than the US$, had become much stronger in early 2008, peaking at about 1.59 US$. The economic crisis wreaked havoc in the currency markets this past year. The Euro started the year at about $ US 1.39, but dropped to a low of 1.254 US$ in early March. Recently, the € rose again sharply due to weakness of the US$. The 52 wk range is 1.2424 - 1.5063. As of the close on Friday, Nov 20, 2009, 1€ = $1.4862, little changed from 2 wks ago, although it did peek above $1.5 intraday a couple of times. So, will the Euro soar, tread water or drop?

The question is: where will the Euro close on Friday December 4, 2009? Settlement will be based on closing price as reported on http://finance.yahoo.com/currency-investing for December 4, 2009.
