XE Market Analysis: Asia – Dec 28, 2017

The dollar was broadly weaker in N.Y. trade on Thursday, with year-end flows weighing. This said, trading ranges were narrow, and volumes light. A wider than expected advance goods trade deficit, higher than forecast jobless claims print and a better Chicago PMI outcome had little impact. EUR-USD topped at a one-month high of 1.1959, while USD-JPY remained under 113.00. USD-CAD fell to two-month lows of 1.25879, while cable idled near 1.3450.
