The Greenback on defensive as fresh jobs pain hits U.S. economy
Fundamental News

EUR/USD
The Single currency surged to $1.1880 following a rise in U.S. jobless claims and a dip in Treasury yields dampened the appeal of holding the greenback.

 

GBP/USD
The Pound Sterling strengthened towards $1.3247 shrugging off growing concerns that the U.K and EU are unlikely to find a breakthrough on the latest round of post-Brexit talks, which concludes later today.

 

USD/JPY
The Japanese Yen rose to 105.60 against the U.S dollar post better than expected Japan's manufacturing data in the Asian session.

 

AUD/USD
The Australian dollar ascended to $0.7200 following the release of the positive Aussie Retail Sales data earlier today.

 

USD/ZAR
The South African rand slightly gained to 17.22/dlr ahead of the country's Core CPI data due next week.

 

USD/MUR
The pair retreated by 4 cents to 40.20(selling) on the domestic market.
