United States

If the American Idol judges were to comment on the greenback's performance yesterday, they'd probably say it was all over the place. The USD emerged stronger than the EUR, NZD, and CHF but had lackluster movement compared to the JPY, GBP, AUD, and CAD. More...

Euro zone

Ouch! The euro took a few hits from the greenback and the yen yesterday after the Greek debt drama made a reprise. Argh, I thought these conflicts were over and done with already! More...

United Kingdom

Relatively tight trading on the cable yesterday, as it stuck within a range of about 80 pips. With some economic reports on deck today, could we see some stronger moves? More...

Canada

Thanks to sharp rise of crude oil, the Loonie was able to kick off the week on a high note, staging a stellar rally against the greenback yesterday. The USDCAD ended the US trading session at 1.0022, almost 100 pips lower from its week open price. More...

Australia

Switzerland

Pretty slow day for trading, as European traders were off enjoying the holidays, wining and dining. The USDCHF traded within a range of just 60 pips, closing 11 pips higher at 1.0626. More...
