Fundamental News

EUR/USD
The Shared currency plummeted to a low of $0.9950 on Thursday before rebounding quickly above parity in a topsy-turvy move, battered by growing recession fears in the euro area and the economic risks from the euro zone's dependence on Russian gas.

 

GBP/USD
The Cable extended its drop to $1.1834 as political instability and a bout of risk aversion sent investors snapping up the U.S. dollar.

 

USD/JPY
The Japanese yen resumed its relentless fall to reach a new 24-year low at 139.40 on Thursday before paring some losses to 138.72 this morning. The Bank of Japan's promise to defend its near-zero target for 10-year yields has further widened the U.S.-Japan yield differential, weighed on the Japanese yen.

 

AUD/USD
The risk-sensitive Australian dollar firmed at $0.6736, shrugging off data showing a sharper-than-expected decline in economic growth in key trading partner China.

 

USD/CAD
The Loonie dived to 1.3115 against the greenback despite the surprisingly notable rate hike on the part of the Bank of Canada(BOC) on Wednesday. On Wednesday, the BOC made it clear that the fight against inflation takes top priority.

 

USD/ZAR
South African rand weakened to 17.20 against the greenback as recessionary fears weighed on emerging market currencies, prompting investors to switch from riskier assets such as the rand to safe-haven assets like the U.S. dollar.

 

USD/MUR
The dollar-rupee idled at 45.25 (Selling).
