GBP/USD
The Cable grinded higher to $1.2565 amid a rebound in the risk-on impulse, which has strengthened the risk-sensitive currencies and has diminished the safe-haven's appeal.

AUD/USD
The Aussie dollar meandered at $0.7080 on mixed economic data as Australia’s S&P Global Manufacturing PMI for May came in softer but Services PMIs rose past market consensus.

 

USD/CAD
The Loonie took a bath at 1.2805 per U.S dollar as China prepares to ease COVID-19 lockdowns after two months, a tight global supply outlook acted as a tailwind for crude oil prices, which, in turn, underpinned the commodity-linked loonie.

The South African rand strengthened to 15.84 against the greenback, supported by rating agency S&P upgrading the country's sovereign outlook to "positive".

 

USD/MUR
The dollar-rupee stayed put at 43.55 (selling).
