Comments are off

The Dollar had traded moderately firmer into the New York interbank open, which came as European equity markets turned negative after failing to sustain a positive open, and with U.S. equity futures flagging as the good-feel of yesterday’s bullish Wall Street session abated. EUR-USD has ebbed back to the mid 1.1500s after yesterday failing to sustain gains above 1.1600. USD-JPY posted a three-session high at 112.42 before settling around 112.20-25. The pound, after outperforming yesterday, has today more than fully reversed these gains.
