US Dollar Gets No Boost from US Economic Data

The US dollar traded below the opening level against other most-traded currencies as mixed economic data from the United States provided no boost for the currency that is struggling to maintain its upward momentum. The most important US economic reports should have been gross domestic product data, but it actually did not draw attention from markets despite showing faster-than-expected growth of the US economy. On the other […]

EUR/USD Up After US Consumer Sentiment Disappoints, Ignores GDP

The dollar traded mostly flat today, though it fell against some most-traded currencies. So happens, the euro was one of them. The better-than-expected US gross domestic product figure did not halt the rally of EUR/USD for long while the worse-than-expected US consumer sentiment boosted the currency pair. US GDP rose 2.9% in Q3 2016 according to the preliminary figure (the first of the three estimates) after increasing 1.4% in Q2. The analysts’ […]

Sterling Soft After Northern Ireland Court Decision

The Great Britain pound rose against the US dollar but fell against most other currencies today as the threat of the Brexit continued to undermine the currency’s appeal to Forex traders. The big news of the day was the decision of Northern Ireland’s High Court that British government can initiate the Brexit without consent from the parliament. The matter is not over as the High Court in London is yet to make its decision as today’s verdict […]

Economic Data from Australia Sends Aussie Lower

Yen Flat After Bunch of Economic Reports from Japan

The Japanese yen was flat against most of its major rivals during the current trading session after a bunch of macroeconomic data was released from Japan today. Arguably the most important of reports released today were consumer spending and inflation data. While both consumer expenditure and the core Consumer Price Index (both for Tokyo and for the whole Japan) fell, the drop was not as big as analysts had predicted. Still, the data […]
