GBP/USD
Sterling edged lower to $1.3877 on Monday as UK traced Covid strains from Brazil while US CDC warned of "potential fourth surge of cases" due to virus variants. British finance minister Rishi Sunak is set to announce an extra 1.65 billion pounds to fund the country's vaccination roll-out as part of his annual budget statement on Wednesday.

 

USD/JPY
Yen plummeted to 106.82 per dollar on the back of a stronger dollar and elevated U.S. Treasury yields eroded investor appetite for safe havens.

The Australian dollar mounted to $0.7755 Tuesday after the central bank sought to calm nervous bond markets by recommitting a pledge to keep buying bonds and left interest rates at historic lows of 0.1% at its monthly policy meeting.

 

USD/ZAR
Rand retreated from 14.88 to 15.04 per greenback as progress on U.S. President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion economic stimulus plan, now awaiting Senate approval, bolstered risk appetite.
