XE Market Analysis: Asia – Sep 21, 2017

The dollar gave back some of its post-FOMC gains seen on Wednesday, losing modest ground to all the major currencies. The move came despite decent U.S. data, which saw jobless claims below expectations, and a firmer Philly Fed index and leading indicators. EUR-USD bottomed at 1.1899 after the early data, before making its way to 1.1953 into the London close. USD-JPY faded to 112.14 lows from 112.55, though managed a comeback into the close, topping near 112.60. Cable rallied over 1.3585, while USD-CAD printed 1.2321 lows on firmer oil prices.
