Dollar ended last week as the strongest one as markets put China's coronavius behind. Instead, strong risk sentiments lifted major US indices to new record highs. Friday's pull back was likely due to pre-weekend profit taking only. Latest batch of economic data, including ISMs and NFP, suggested that US economy is in healthy shape. The bullish trend should continue for the near term. Staying in the currency markets, Australian Dollar ended as the second strongest after RBA affirmed its wait-and-see stands. But any renewed weakness in Chinese stocks and extend selloff in commodity could drag the Aussie lower ahead. European majors were the weakest as UK and EU will now enter into negotiations of future relationship. Risk of cliff-edge Brexit by the end of the year remains. |
