United States

It appeared that the dollar was going to be up for the day, as it traded higher during the earlier sessions. However, the USD fell against other majors as risk appetite seems to have been boosted by better than expected earnings reports released in the US.

However, the CAD returned its gains as BOC Governor Mark Carney hinted that the BOC would curb the CAD strength if it continues to rise and hurt their economy. More...

Australia

With China, Australia's major trade partner, posting an amazing 8.9% economic growth, you'd think that the AUD would shoot all the way up... Instead, the AUDUSD fell to 0.9200 and the AUDJPY dropped to 84.00 as traders focused on the fact that Chinese GDP failed to meet the consensus of 9.1% growth. More...

New Zealand

The Kiwi, like most major currencies, fell initially during the Asian session when risk appetite faded but gussied up and rallied during the US session. It closed at 0.7590, just ten pips higher from its Asian opening price. More...

Switzerland

The CHF seems poised to reach parity with the dollar, as it finished higher against the USD once again. The pair closed at 1.0041 - could today be the day it reaches 1.000? More...
