The Japanese Yen tumbled on Bank of Japan Ultra-dovish policy.

Fundamental News

EUR/USD
The Single currency dropped to $1.1010 on Thursday as weaker-than-expected U.S economic growth in the first quarter is viewed as not likely to deter the Federal Reserve from raising interest rates next week.

GBP/USD
The Cable remained anchored at $1.2473 despite hawkish U.S. rates expectation.

USD/JPY
The Yen crumbled to 135.34 against the greenback after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) announced a continuation of ultra-loose Monetary policy to achieve 2% inflation target.

AUD/USD
The Australian Dollar inched up to $0.6613 after a more-than-expected Australia Producer Price Index (PPI) data of 5.2% was released this morning.

USD/CAD

The Loonie timidly progressed to 1.3607 against the dollar ahead of Canada's Gross Domestic Product (GBP) data due later today.

USD/ZAR
The rand ticked down to 18.31 against the greenback on a closed South African market.
