Dollar is trying to recover again today, with rather weak momentum so far. FOMC minutes released overnight didn't prompt renewed selling in the greenback. Instead, traders are turning cautious ahead of the highly anticipated meeting between Trump and China Xi in Argentina. For now, Yen is the second strongest one for today, following Kiwi. Swiss Franc is the weakest one today with Australian Dollar. Euro and Sterling are mixed. Technically, the forex markets are generally in consolidative mode. EUR/USD is in range of 1.1267/1472. USD/CHF is in range of 0.9908/1.0006. GBP/USD is in range of 1.2725/2927. Even the strong AUD/USD couldn't get ride of 0.7314 resistance cleanly. EUR/AUD breached 1.5519 support yesterday but there was no follow through selling. GBP/JPY is bounded in range of 144.02/145.99. EUR/GBP is also held in range below 0.8939 resistance.
