EUR & GBP were both down and out for the count during the session. And while the risk-off vibes gave JPY and CHF a boost, the two safe-haven currencies weren’t the top dogs since both lost out to the higher-yielding NZD.

A bit of risk-taking returned during the New York trading session, allowing the Canadian dollar to hold on to its gains and forcing the yen to fall back. 

The Greenback and the yen easily trumped their peers, apparently because of safe-haven demand. The higher-yielding Aussie and Kiwi, meanwhile, were the biggest victims of the risk-off vibes.

The higher-yielding Aussie and Kiwi were both in recovery mode during the session, likely because of the risk-on vibes and rising commodity prices, as well the Greenback’s broad-based weakness.

The risk-off vibes persisted so the Swissy continued to attract buyers. The Greenback, meanwhile, was weaker across the board. Other than those two, the pound is also worth noting since it staged a broad-based recovery.
