The British Pound remained supported by stronger-than-expected UK GDP growth and expectations of a potential Bank of England rate hike.

Fundamental News

EUR/USD

The Euro lost ground at $1.1220, pressured by violent cost-of-living protests in France that raised concerns about French bond-market stability.

GBP/USD

The British Pound remained supported at $1.3330 by stronger-than-expected UK GDP growth and expectations of a potential Bank of England rate hike.

USD/JPY

The Japanese Yen fell to $158 as BoJ’s cautious stance and the wide US-Japan rate gap weigh on the currency.

AUD/USD

The Aussie Dollar gained few pips to $0.6643 following release of China's Q3 GDP which showed GDP grew 4.5% year-over-year, topping market expectations of 4.4%.

USD/CAD

The Canadian Dollar traded near 1.4135 per US dollar as falling oil prices weighed on the commodity-linked currency, with Brent crude slipping amid expectations of increased Russian fuel exports.

USD/ZAR

The South African Rand’s outlook remains vulnerable at $16.4550, with market closely monitoring South Africa’s upcoming medium-term budget statement, which may have significant implications for public finances and the country’s credit rating.

USD/MUR

The Dollar–Rupee is unchanged at 47.94 (selling) this morning.
