Mixed U.S. data left markets directionless ahead of US-Ukraine talks and Jackson Hole.
Fundamental News

EUR/USD
The Euro traded around $1.1700 in the early morning session amid hopes of a Ukraine peace deal ahead of a Trump-Zelensky meeting, scheduled later in the day.

GBP/USD
The Pound Sterling stayed caught in a tight range around $1.3560 as mixed U.S. data left markets directionless.

USD/JPY
The Japanese Yen struggled at 147.43 against the greenback as an upbeat mood undermined the safe-haven JPY.

AUD/USD
The Australian dollar floated with positive bias above $0.6510 as market participants eye Fed Chair Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole symposium on Friday.

USD/CAD
The Canadian dollar was on the back foot at 1.3807 against its U.S. counterpart ahead of local CPI inflation data due tomorrow.

USD/ZAR
The South African remained close to its highest level in 9 months around 17.60 against the USD, helped by higher gold prices and an unconvincing U.S. dollar.

USD/MUR
The dollar-rupee decreased by 13 cents to 45.91 (selling) this morning.
