  • Similar dollar weakness prevailed against the Japanese Yen, with USDJPY gradually slipping from the overnight highs of 114.30 back below the 114 mark. Following a bullish engulfing reversal, the pattern signals scope for a stronger climb and has exposed key resistance at 114.70, Oct 20 high.
  • The Swiss Franc continues to be supported on dips with underperformance in the Euro pinning EURCHF to the most recent lows below 1.0550. The move continues to garner market attention with focus on the key 1.0505 mark. The level provided crucial support following the onset of the pandemic in early 2020.

The high print is currently 9.9969, however the pair trades close to these highs approaching the close. The Russian ruble came under particular pressure (down 2.06%) following geopolitical headlines regarding troop movement on the Ukraine border.
