The U.S dollar up on Powell's positive comments, inflation data eyed this week.

Fundamental News

EUR/USD
The Shared currency muted at $1.1890 after data showing a second straight monthly drop in Germany's industrial production and worries about the stalled EU rescue fund that countries like Italy need.

GBP/USD
The Cable neared the precipice at $1.3688, hurt by profit-taking after a solid first quarter and concerns about the costs of Brexit in trade and stability in Northern Ireland.

USD/JPY
The Japanese yen edged lower to 109.54 versus the greenback, undermined by buoyant U.S yields and positive comments from Powell on Sunday.

USD/CAD
The Loonie boosted to 1.2560 per U.S dollar following upbeat labour market data from Canada on Friday.

AUD/USD
Aussie dollar relinquished most of its gains to $0.7605, as concerns about the AstraZeneca shot and European export restrictions delayed the rollout for all Australians to receive their first COVID-19 vaccine dose.

USD/ZAR
The South African rand weakened to 14.60 against the U.S dollar following poor south African’s manufacturing production on Friday.

USD/MUR
The dollar rupee held steady at 40.85(selling) this morning.
