The dollar index is on the back foot after testing the November highs yesterday. Currency markets are generally calm as the G20 meeting approaches despite concerns over the US-China trade truce.
The AUD/USD is higher again this morning after two volatile sessions to start the week. The GBP/USD is nudging higher after continuing to slip yesterday. By contrast, the EUR/USD is unchanged after testing the lows yesterday. The EUR/GBP is slipping lower on pound strength as the 0.8850 support level holds.
The dollar’s strength can still be seen in the USD/CAD which is pausing at the highs around 1.3300 after four days of gains.
The USD/CHF continues to nudge towards the 1.0000 level after breaking through yesterday.
Yen pairs still have a positive bias, with the USD/JPY rallying for the third day in a row to test the 114.00 level. The AUD/JPY is pushing higher for the third day in a row and is set to test the highs once again. Both the GBP/JPY and EUR/JPY are high, though remain rangebound.
Coming up today
