- The US dollar was once again the strongest major currency, with the Dollar Index breaking above the resistance level we highlighted yesterday. EUR/USD hit a 22-month low below 1.1175, hurt by weak German IFO figures.
- Even USD/JPY nudged higher, despite a headwind from bond yields ahead of tonight’s BOJ meeting.
- The aussie was the weakest major currency after a big miss in quarterly CPI data.
