The Shared currency edged up to $1.2225 as Donald Trump signed U.S. stimulus package

Fundamental News

EUR/USD
The Shared currency edged up to $1.2240 as U.S. President Trump surprised global markets on Sunday by signing the much-awaited aid package, and avoiding the American government shutdown.

GBP/USD
The Pound Sterling eased from a two and a half year high of $1.3632 to $1.3565, following last week's agreement of a narrow Brexit trade deal that does not cover Britain's financial sector.

USD/JPY
The Japanese yen ticked up to 103.50 against the greenback as Japan’s industrial production data pleased yen's buyers earlier today.

AUD/USD
The Aussie dollar rose to $0.7611 despite China's import of Australian copper hits lowest since January 2017. Copper is one of Australia's top exports along with iron ore and gold.

USD/ZAR
South Africa's firm at 14.56 versus the greenback on news that Trump signed US aid bill added to the Brexit optimism and boosted investors' confidence.

USD/MUR
The dollar-rupee stayed put at 39.83 (selling) on the domestic market.
