Session Recap: EUR/USD goes back and forth
FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - Despite having printed a fresh 4-month high of 1.3390 on Thursday, the EUR/USD has had a forgettable session as it went back and forth to end the day near to where it started it. Same analysis fits to GBP/USD which rose to a peak of 1.5735 but failed to hold gains and dipped back below 1.5700 afterwards.
Meanwhile, USD/JPY managed to trim losses during the New York session, as sentiment improved following better-than-expected US data. The positive tone in financial markets also translated into stocks and commodities gains. Against this backdrop, the AUD and the CAD are closing the day higher.
