GBP/USD
The Cable retreated to $1.4152, undermined by a lack of positive drivers for the British currency.

USD/JPY
The Japanese yen ticked down to 108.82 against the greenback after Bank of Japan's board member Hitoshi Suzuki said earlier in the day that the central bank should prevent its holdings of exchange-traded funds from increasing as much as possible during calm periods in the market.

AUD/USD
The Aussie dollar extended gains to $0.7782 on the back of upbeat Australian Construction Output released earlier today.
