XE Market Analysis: Asia – Sep 29, 2015

The dollar started the session on a firmer footing, though as Wall Street squandered its early gains, the greenback mostly headed south. Decent house price data and a surprise rise in consumer confidence aided the USD early on, resulting in EUR-USD dipping to 1.1195 lows and a 120.16 peak for USD-JPY. The 1.11 and 120 handles were soon given back however, as the euro headed to 1.1260 highs, and dollar-yen slipped under 119.65.
