The Euro rised after U.S President Donald Trump agrees to a two-week ceasefire with Iran.
Fundamental News

EUR/USD

The Euro rised to $1.1702 after U.S President Donald Trump agrees to a two-week ceasefire with Iran, while FOMC minutes are set to take center stage later today.

 GBP/USD

The Pound sterling surged to $1.3441 with improved market sentiment despite U.K services PMI being revised down to an 11-month low of 50.5.

USD/JPY

The Japanese Yen traded higher at 158.50 against the greenback as the drop in oil prices fall, eases Japan’s import cost pressures, strengthening the case for a BoJ rate hike this month.    

AUD/USD

The Australian Dollar climbed over 1% to around $0.7080 as market sentiment becomes highly supportive of riskier assets.

USD/CAD

The Canadian Dollar slipped to 1.3835 versus the U.S dollar as weak data, especially contracting services activity, signaled slowing momentum and reinforced expectations of easing by the Bank of Canada.

USD/ZAR

The South African strengthened toward 16.3887 per USD, supported by higher precious metal prices and a softer U.S dollar.

USD/MUR

The Dollar-Rupee cooled to 46.95 (selling) this morning.
