XE Market Analysis: Asia – Feb 20, 2019

The dollar ticked higher after the release of the FOMC minutes, EUR-USD faded under 1.1340 from 1.1370, while USD-JPY rallied over 110.80 from near 110.65. The minutes revealed few surprises, and the FX reaction appeared to be a bit of “buy the news” for the Dollar. The Greenback had been under pressure through the morning session ahead of the minutes.
