Not even the BOE rate hike was enough to lift the pound’s spirits as Brexit jitters lingered. Can this week’s top-tier reports change the mood?

Now that the BOJ has said its piece, will the yen go back to exclusively taking cues from risk sentiment?

The Aussie’s price action last week mostly centered around the U.S.-China trade war. See if there are other catalysts this week!

A deterioration of risk sentiment dragged Kiwi lower across the board last week. Will this week’s catalysts turn the tides for the comdoll?

Today is another NFP Friday so price action was subdued for the most part. However, the forex market became very lively near the end when USD was rushed by sellers, while AUD and NZD jumped higher. What happened?

Sterling was still reeling from the post-Carney commentary when the New York session kicked off. The Kiwi also found itself behind its peers as dollar domination came back in play.

Risk sentiment was the initial driver during the session since battle lines were drawn between the safe-havens and the higher-yielders. The pound later stole the show, though, thanks to the BOE-induced spike and dive.
