United States

The USD came out mixed again yesterday as it lost against the EUR, GBP, CAD, and CHF. Its only consolation was some close wins over the AUD and NZD. This time, it was the conflicting US trade balance and unemployment claims results that made investors a little iffy. More...

Euro zone

Consolidation was the name of the game for the EURUSD yesterday as it hovered between 1.3625 to 1.3680. The EURJPY pair, which was unable to break above 124.00, was range-bound as well. More...

Switzerland
