Fundamental News

EUR/USD
The Single currency met renewed selling at $1.1987 and slipped to $1.1910, even though AstraZeneca vaccinations are poised to restart in Germany, France and other European nations.

 

GBP/USD
The Pound sank to a low of $1.3893 as B.O.E warned that the outlook for U.K.’s recovery from COVID-19 remained unclear, which disappointed expectations that BOE would signal a more confident outlook.

 

USD/JPY
The Japanese yen slightly gained to 108.88 against the U.S dollar after the Bank of Japan kept its interest rate unchanged at -0.1%.

 

AUD/USD
The Aussie dollar pressured below $0.7750 on downbeat Australian retail sales.

 

USD/ZAR
Rand firmed at 14.72 versus the U.S dollar, the market likely to await for SARB monetary policy committee meeting next week for a big trigger.

 

USD/MUR
The dollar-rupee trading firmed near its all-time high at 40.70(selling) on the domestic market.
