XE Market Analysis: Asia – Nov 25, 2015

The N.Y. trading session ran out of steam early on Wednesday, with many participants heading to the exits ahead of Thursday’s Thanksgiving holiday. Despite the deluge of U.S. data, the dollar remained inside of narrow ranges, albeit at firmer levels. EUR-USD touched fresh seven-month lows of 1.0566 at mid-morning, before rallying back over 1.0600, with pre-holiday short covering the driver. USD-JPY managed steady but modest gains through the morning, opening at 122.65 before peaking at 122.93. USD-CAD remained over the 1.33 level, topping at 1.3339 as oil prices faded from Tuesday’s highs.
