XE Market Analysis: Asia – Oct 09, 2015

The dollar was mixed in N.Y. trade on Friday, and the FX market had a decidedly lethargic feel to is, following a fairly volatile week. Other than import/export price data, which had little impact on markets, there was little in the way of news to move currencies. EUR-USD did manage three-week highs however, peaking at 1.1387 after opening near 1.1350. USD-JPY held the 120 handle through the session, as risk appetite stayed positive for most of the day. The pairing peaked at 120.34 before fading into 120.20 as stocks gave back gains.
