The biggest loser is the AUD/USD which has closed Monday’s opening gap with heavy selling this morning following a big GDP miss. The AUD/JPY is following suit with a more spectacular retreat.
The EUR/USD is suffering only moderate selling in contrast to the GBP/USD which is on a five day losing run and below the 1.2700 marker. The EUR/GBP is on the rise after a small reversal yesterday.
The USD/CAD has fully recovered Monday’s gap lower and is heading back to the highs, while the USD/CHF is on the rise and trading just below the parity line.
Yen pairs have a positive bias as money flows form the yen into the dollar. There was heavy selling on the USD/JPY yesterday, but around a third of this move has been recovered.
The GBP/JPY is making a small recovery after heavy selling yesterday, the EUR/JPY is following suit and keeping above the highs just.
