The Euro nosedived with market awaiting the U.S PCE inflation data scheduled for release this afternoon ahead of the U.S Federal Reserve’s policy meeting next week.

Fundamental News

EUR/USD

The Euro nosedived to $1.1505 with market awaiting the U.S PCE inflation data scheduled for release this afternoon, which may provide clues about the future direction of US interest rates ahead of the U.S Federal Reserve’s policy meeting next week.

GBP/USD

The Pound Sterling dipped to 1.3340 against the greenback amid growing confidence that the Bank of England will lower its interest rates at its policy meeting next Thursday.

USD/JPY

The Japanese Yen extended its losses, trading around $159.38, with this economic situation being very challenging for Japan, a major energy importer reliant on Middle East oil where rising prices are putting additional pressure on the Yen.

AUD/USD

The Australian Dollar slipped to 0.7067 against the U.S Dollar while expectations of a rate hike by the Reserve Bank of Australia at its meeting next Tuesday helped cap losses.

USD/CAD

The Canadian Dollar was weighed down to $1.3648 amid the ongoing US-Iran war.

USD/ZAR

The South African Rand drifted lower to 16.7972 versus the U.S dollar as escalating Middle East tensions and surging oil prices hurt risk appetite, despite stronger current account and mining data.

USD/MUR

The Dollar-Rupee fell surged to 46.94 (selling) this morning.
