The Australian dollar dropped to $0.6660 following anxiety prevailing in Australia and China talks.
Fundamental News

EUR/USD
The Shared Currency edged lower to $1.0600 despite ECB policy maker and Germany's central bank head, Joachim Nagel, mentioning that they are still a long way from hitting the inflation target. 

 

GBP/USD
The Cable nosedived to $1.2135 as the outlook for the British economy remains fragile, in addition to political jitters surrounding the workers' pay and the resulting walkouts.

 

USD/JPY
The Japanese yen rose significantly to 133.30 against the greenback following an unexpected tweak in the BoJ's yield curve control policy and the trading bands for the 10-year government bond from 25 to 50 basis points. 

 

AUD/USD
The Australian dollar dropped to $0.6660 following the unimpressive RBA minutes and anxiety prevailing in Australia and China talks.

 

USD/CAD
The Loonie firmed at 1.3673 against its U.S. counterpart as investors bet that easing COVID-19 curbs in China would boost demand for oil, one of Canada's major exports, with the currency rebounding from a six-week low.

 

USD/ZAR
South African rand appreciated sharply towards 17.4 against the USD, amid a tepid dollar and as investors cheered news that President Cyril Ramaphosa was re-elected leader of the governing ANC party.

 

USD/MUR
The dollar-rupee idled at 44.10 (selling).
