The Euro wallowed after the ECB signalled further monetary easing by the end of the year

Fundamental News

EUR/USD
The euro wallowed near a four-week low at $1.1650 after the European Central Bank signalled further monetary easing by the end of the year, but kept interest rates steady.

GBP/USD
Sterling breathed some fresh air from $1.2880 to $1.2935, undermined by a lack of Brexit-related headlines as London and the European Union have just two months to reach a post-Brexit trade agreement.

USD/JPY
The Japanese Yen vaulted to 104 against the dollar on reports that the U.S. economy grew at a record pace for the third quarter and an improving trend in jobless claims, before retreating to 104.40 now.

AUD/USD
The Australian dollar sidelined at $0.7050 on Friday, even though an unrelenting wave of new COVID-19 cases in Europe and North America darkened the outlook for global growth and commodity prices.

USD/ZAR
South Africa's rand steadied at 16.32 against the dollar after losses linked to the shock of a mid-term budget speech that showed still-ballooning debt and a deeper recession.

USD/MUR
The dollar rupee stayed put at 40.40(Selling) on the local market.
