The Single currency put on a stellar rally after softer U.S. inflation data.
Fundamental News

EUR/USD

The Single currency rocketed to $1.0992 yesterday after United States inflation slipped to the lowest level since May 2021, to 5% in March from 6% in February.

 

GBP/USD

The Cable roared to $1.2492 on comments from U.K. Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt that the U.K. economic outlook is looking brighter than expected following the release of February GDP data.

 

USDJPY

The Japanese Yen spiked to 133.27 against the greenback after downbeat U.S inflation data and unimpressive Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Minutes on Wednesday drowned the greenback. 

 

AUD/USD

The Aussie catapulted to $0.6709 following a higher-than-expected reading of Australia Employment data displayed this morning. 

 

USD/CAD

The Loonie climbed to 1.3425 versus the greenback after the Bank of Canada left the key interest rate unchanged at 4.50% and pushed back against bets that it would shift to cutting interest rates this year.

 

USD/ZAR

The South African Rand firmed at 18.3872 against a dovish U.S. dollar after FOMC minutes confirmed that the U.S. economy would face a mild recession later this year.

 

USD/MUR
The dollar-rupee slipped to 45.55(selling) amid a broad U.S. dollar weakness.
