Greenback is almost even with the New Zealand Dollar.
Japanese Yen is trailed closely by the Swiss Franc and both of the majors are mostly lower.
Single currency is up only from the Ozzy Dollar, which wraps up the table as Australian retail sales disappointed with a flat monthly reading.

Dollar/Swissie leads the monthly advancers section with a gain of 2.6%. 3.26% is the top decline and it’s posted by New Zealand/Greenback.
