FOREX: Markets remained quiet due to the Thanksgiving Day holiday. The euro was
one of the few currencies that saw some movement as the single currency firmed
against the dollar, yen and sterling. The buoyant tone in the euro appeared to
be on upbeat talks of the European economy and better than expected
manufacturing PMIs from France, Germany and the Eurozone. Usd/Jpy traded
sideways for much of the session as it stayed between Y111.07-38. Eur/Jpy saw
some upward movement mainly on euro strength rather than yen weakness. The pair
printed fresh intra-day highs of Y133.88 and hovered near the top of the
Y131.23-88 range. Aussie moved higher in Europe supported by a firmer gold price
reaching the day's high of 0.7639 before fading lower. The loonie had made some
gains against the greenback printing intra-day lows of Cad1.2673 before weaker
than expected Canadian Retail Sales figures sent the pair higher. Usd/Cad
reached the day's high of Cad1.2725.
