XE Market Analysis: North America – Oct 12, 2015

The dollar started the new week where it left of the last, with a weakening bias. EUR-USD edged out a new three-week high just shy of 1.1400, continuing the rally that began with the dovish-leaving FOMC minutes of last Thursday. The AUD and NZD, meanwhile, outperformed as Chinese stock markets rallied strongly after PBoC deputy governor Yi said from weekend IMF meetings that the stock correction is “almost over.” USD-JPY remained mired in a narrow range in the low 120.00s, with remarks from BoJ’s Kuroda casting little impact.
