XE Market Analysis: Asia – Oct 08, 2015

FX trade was relatively quiet in N.Y. on Thursday morning, as the dollar put in another mixed performance, though ended the day slightly underwater overall. A slightly smaller than expected jobless claims outcome helped the dollar marginally early on, though position squaring became evident into the FOMC minutes release. The minutes didn’t provide any clear insight into rate hike timing. For most every hawkish indication, there was an offsetting “however.” The dollar initially gained after the release, though ultimately slipped to session lows into the close.
