Pip Diddy

The Fed kept interest rates on hold as expected but the dollar still tossed and turned as policy expectations seemed to shift.

China and New Zealand’s data releases gave the comdolls a bit of a boost in Asia’s mixed trading scene. Meanwhile, the dollar lost some of its gains ahead of this week’s top-tier events.

Geopolitical risks remained in play during the U.S. session, lifting the safe-haven dollar and Japanese yen while the oil-related Loonie held its ground.

Concerns that the U.S. would back out of the Iran nuclear deal pushed oil prices (and the Loonie) higher on a relatively quiet forex trading session.

Weak reports from the Euro Zone as well as war concerns in the Middle East pushed the dollar higher across the board.

After starting the trading week on a mixed note, the Greenback finally regained its footing and began charging higher against all its peers. The Kiwi, meanwhile, extended its losses even as risk-taking prevailed in Europe.

It’s the start of a brand new month and you know what that means – it’s NFP week, yo! Here are other reports that might affect the dollar’s price action this week.

The Loonie’s winning streak ended last week, possibly on shifts in monetary policy divergence. Will this week’s top-tier reports bring the Loonie back up the forex hill?

Chinese and Japanese markets were out on holidays today, but that didn’t stop traders from making pips rain for the pound and bringing pain to comdolls.
