XE Market Analysis: Asia – Oct 16, 2017

The FX market was relatively quiet in N.Y. trade on Monday, with major dollar pairings largely sticking to narrow trading ranges. The greenback moved to session highs following a joint press conference between Trump and Senate leader McConnell, where the two appeared to be on the same page with regards to tax reform. This helped stocks and the dollar. EUR-USD dipped to session lows of 1.1794 into the close, after topping at 1.1819 into the London close.
