Dollar trades broadly lower in thin holiday market as trades await FOMC rate decision. There is no expectation of a change in interest rate nor Fed's patient stance. But Fed chair Jerome Powell's comments on inflation could make or break recent rally in the greenback. For now, Dollar it's considered just in consolidation against Euro, Swissy and Aussie. Even USD/JPY couldn't confirm near term reversal yet. Staying in the currency markets, New Zealand Dollar is indeed the weakest one, after weak employment data. Yen follows and second and then Dollar. Swiss Franc, on the other hand, is the strongest one for today so far, followed by Sterling and then Euro. Technically, GBP/USD's break of 1.3019 minor resistance yesterday revived near term bullishness. Further rise might be seen back to retest 1.3381 high. The fortune of EUR/USD could be tied to EUR/GBP which appears to have reversed ahead of 0.8722 resistance. Deeper decline in EUR/GBP towards 0.8747 support could keep EUR/USD steady while lifting GBP/USD. |
