Fundamental News

EUR/USD

The Euro held firm near 1.1665 against the US dollar, supported by concerns over political pressure on the US Federal Reserve. 

GBP/USD

The pound sterling remained steady at 1.3475 as dollar weakness persisted, with UK rate cut expectations limiting upside before US inflation figures.

USD/JPY

The Japanese yen continued to weaken at 158.80, hurt by uncertainty around the Bank of Japan, tensions with China, and possible snap election talks in Japan. 

AUD/USD

The Australian dollar fell against the US dollar at 0.67 after new data showed Australian consumer confidence dropped again in January.

USD/CAD

The Canadian dollar remained under pressure near 1.3870 against the U.S. dollar as Iran tensions escalate.

USD/ZAR

The rand strengthened to trade around $16.40, as record-high gold and silver prices boosted the currency, alongside rising safe-haven demand amid global uncertainty.

USD/MUR

The dollar–rupee pair slipped by 2 cents to trade at 47.14 on the offer side.
