The Aussie dollar dropped to a one-week low after the central bank chief hinted of a possible rate cut or bond buying.

Fundamental News

EUR/USD
The Shared currency inched up to $1.1754 despite fear of a new wave of lockdowns could stall the global recovery just as hopes for U.S. stimulus before the Nov. 3 election are fading.

GBP/USD
The Cable surged to $1.3020 after Britain and the European Union said they had made "some progress" in trade talks this week.

USD/JPY
The Japanese yen gained to 105.25 against the greenback as the souring market mood helped the JPY find demand as a safe-haven.

AUD/USD
The Aussie dollar lost ground to $0.7132 after Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Philip Lowe mentioned bond buying and a small rate cut as among options for policy support during the next stages of recovery.

USD/ZAR
South Africa's rand dropped to 16.56/dlr as the postponement of the country's budget and the stalemate over a United State stimulus package kept bids subdued.

USD/MUR
The USD/MUR idled at 40.15(selling).
