The dollar has traded moderately firmer, though has remained off highs seen during yesterday’s whippy price action. The combo of market-jolting news and thin year-end markets exacerbated the strong up-then-down price action that the dollar experienced yesterday, with the currency having now settled at moderately firmer levels. The dollar bloc and other cyclical currencies have been back in the underperforming lane today, though have remained above the lows they saw against the dollar and yen yesterday. The pound has managed to stabilize.
