All eyes on ECB and BoE rate decicions
Fundamental News

EUR/USD

EUR/USD is holding near 1.1740 after two modest declines, as the dollar stays weak. Data-driven Fed and restrained ECB easing expectations continue to support the pair medium term.

 GBP/USD

The pound sterling struggled to capitalize on to overnight bounce and is trading at $1.3365 as traders turn cautious ahead of the Bank of England policy decision due later today whereby a 25 basis point interest rate cut is widely expected. 

USD/JPY

The Japanese yen weakened to 155.70 against the greenback with growing expectations of a near-term Bank of Japan rate hike at tomorrow's BOJ meeting. 

AUD/USD

The Australian dollar came under pressure at 0.66 despite the consumer inflation expectations in Australia rose to 4.7% in December.

USD/CAD

USDCAD holds at 1.3783 ahead of US CPI data. 

USD/ZAR

The rand is steady near 16.75, supported by firmer gold prices and a weaker dollar, while softer November inflation has reinforced expectations of further SARB rate cuts, limiting upside.

USD/MUR

The dollar–rupee pair slipped by 2 cents today, quoted at 46.48 on the offer side.
