Entering into US session, Sterling pares back some of this week’s gain on news that three Conservative lawmakers quit the party. And expectation of Prime Minister Theresa May’s visit to Brussels is rather low. Though, New Zealand Dollar is the worst performing one today. Yen is also among weakest as weighed down by extending risk appetite. On the other hand, Canadian Dollar is the strongest one, followed by Swiss Franc. Focus will now turn to FOMC minutes.
Over the week, Sterling remains the strongest one despite today’s retreat. Canadian Dollar is the second strongest, followed by Swiss Franc. Yen is the weakest one followed by Kiwi and then Dollar.
