The dollar-rupee unfazed by international movements at 39.83 (selling)

Fundamental News

EUR/USD
The Shared currency surged to $1.2297 over bets that a global economic recovery in 2021 will pull money into riskier assets, even as the growing U.S. ‘twin deficits’ of a huge budget increase and trade deficits argue for an ever-cheaper greenback.

GBP/USD
The Cable extended gains to $1.3626 as UK House of Lords approved the Brexit trade deal during early Thursday in Asia.

USD/JPY
The Yen extended gains to 103.13 against the U.S dollar ignoring a closed Japanese market while cheering the US dollar weakness.

AUD/USD
The Aussie dollar pair cheered upbeat risk-on mood to $0.7703 while also taking positive clues from the mixed readings of China’s official Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) for December.

USD/ZAR
South Africa's rand firmed at 14.61 against the U.S dollar driven by continued hopes for deeper fiscal stimulus in the United States and lingering optimism about coronavirus vaccines.

USD/MUR
The dollar-rupee unfazed by international movements at 39.83 (selling) on the domestic market.
