EUR/USD
The Shared currency cascaded to $1.0502 after Russia halted gas supplies to Bulgaria and Poland on Wednesday for rejecting its demand for payment in roubles, taking direct aim at European economies in a move that also exposed confusion in the European Union on how to respond to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
GBP/USD
The Sterling fell to a fresh 21-month low of $1.2505 as Britain's weak economic outlook and higher than expected government borrowing dented the Bank of England's monetary tightening narrative.
USD/JPY

AUD/USD
The Aussie dollar retreated to $0.7079 on a stronger U.S dollar despite speculations that the Reserve Bank of Australia could hike interest rates from record lows as soon as next week.

The Loonie extended its fall to 1.2854 against the greenback after BoC governor Macklem said it would be extremely unusual to increase interest rates by more than 50 bps in one move.
USD/ZAR
The South African rand slammed to 15.96 per U.S dollar on back of severe power cuts by struggling state utility Eskom, deadly floods in an economically significant province, and comments by the U.S. Federal Reserve which suggested an aggressive rate hike outlook.

The dollar-rupee popped by 10 cents to 43.45 (selling).
