U.S. Dollar (USD)
Is that a ranging market I see? Ah, why yes it is! Due to the absence of high impact economic reports, the safe haven Greenback found itself simply trading within tight horizontal channels versus other major currencies. EUR/USD, for instance, closed yesterday’s trading session at 1.3237, just 3 pips higher from its opening price that day. Read more…
Euro (EUR)
Hmmm, it looks like the euro is off to a relatively good start. After EUR/USD fell from its intraday high of 1.3268, the pair was still able to pare its losses and close the day 3 pips above its opening price at 1.3237. It might not be much, but a win is a win, right? Read more…

Australian Dollar (AUD)
After three consecutive days of winning, risk aversion finally took hold of the markets which pushed the Aussie lower. The currency received a huge blow and took losses against both the safe haven Greenback and the low-yielding yen. Read more…
