Fundamental News

EUR/USD

The euro steadied near 1.1678  as safe-haven demand supported the US Dollar amid ongoing United States–Iran conflict.

GBP/USD

The pound sterling traded around 1.3465 despite stronger-than-expected UK PMI data raising expectations of further rate hikes by the Bank of England.

USD/JPY

The Japanese Yen held a positive bias for a fifth straight session, trading around 159.80 as Middle East tensions and expectations of delayed rate hikes by the Bank of Japan continue to weigh on the yen.

AUD/USD

The Australian Dollar softened to around 0.7130 amid Middle East tensions, while markets price in a potential rate hike by the Reserve Bank of Australia in May.

USD/CAD

The Canadian dollar traded near 1.3700 after recent gains, as higher energy-driven inflation boosts hawkish expectations for the Bank of Canada amid supply concerns linked to the Strait of Hormuz.

USD/ZAR

The South African rand fell to 16.63, weighed down by the country’s reliance on energy imports and sensitivity to global price movements.

USD/MUR

The dollar–rupee rose by 12 cents to 47.31 (selling) this morning.
