Sterling clung to 3-week highs on UK fiscal stimulus of 30 billion pounds

Fundamental News

EUR/USD

The Single currency rocketed to $1.1363 as a rally in riskier assets such as global equities and commodities put a dent in safe-haven demand for the U.S. currency.

GBP/USD

The Sterling surged to a three-week high of $1.2630 as UK fiscal stimulus of 30 billion pounds to stem an unemployment crisis shrugged off pessimistic comments about EU-UK trade talks from German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

USD/JPY

The Japanese Yen gained to 107.30/dlr on U.S dollar setback across the board.

AUD/USD

The Aussie dollar crept higher to $0.6987, buoyed by a softer USD, and backed up by a pool of positive economic data from China in today's Asian session.

USD/ZAR

The South African rand edged higher to 16.92 against the U.S dollar, although a resurgence of new coronavirus cases globally and fresh evidence of the weakness of the local economy kept sentiment cautious.

USD/MUR
The USD/MUR unchanged at 40.20(selling) on the domestic market following the intervention of the central bank.
