The Japanese Yen fell like house of cards after the BoJ hiked interest rates by 25 bps to 1.25% this morning.

Fundamental News

EUR/USD

The Euro gathered some strength around $1.1485 as U.S. Treasury yields and oil prices eased overnight, reducing some of the US dollar’s support.

GBP/USD

The Pound Sterling eased to $1.3365 after BoE left interest rates unchanged at its September meeting yesterday, despite inflation rising well above its 2% target.

USD/JPY

The Japanese Yen fell like house of cards after the BoJ hiked interest rates by 25 bps to 1.25% this morning.

AUD/USD

The Australian Dollar climbed to $0.7130 following hawkish comments from Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Michele Bullock.

USD/CAD

The Canadian Dollar traded flat near $1.3990 as the recent rise in oil prices failed to support the Loonie amid the widening US-Canada rate gap.

USD/ZAR

The South African Rand was supported by higher gold and platinum prices which helped offset the impact of the Fed’s rate hike and traded at 16.2352 against the greenback.

USD/MUR

The Dollar–Rupee was trading lower at 48.29 (selling) this morning.
