The single currency spiked as less hawkish Fed minutes dented dollar demand

Fundamental News

EUR/USD
The Shared currency spiked to $1.0441 after minutes from the Federal Reserve's November meeting showed that most policymakers at the central bank agreed it would soon be appropriate to slow the pace of interest rate hikes.

GBP/USD

The Cable leaped to a three-month high to $1.21 on expectations that BOE will lift interest rates further to tame inflation. UK PMIs also showed that economic activity slowed less than expected in November.

USD/JPY
The Japanese yen extended gains to 138.82 against the U.S. dollar under the influence of an increase in US jobless claims and durable good data. US markets closed today for Thanksgiving.

AUD/USD
The Aussie dollar rose to $0.6730 ignoring concerns over major trading partner China.

USD/CAD
The Loonie pierced to 1.3337 per U.S dollar as oil prices hovered near two-month lows after easing concerns over Russian supply and a worsening economic outlook drove sharp losses.

USD/ZAR
South Africa's rand strengthened to 16.93 against the greenback ahead of a highly anticipated interest rate decision by the South African Reserve Bank.

USD/MUR
The dollar-rupee fell by 10 cents 44.10 (Selling) following intervention from the Bank of Mauritius.
