  • Pound remained the best performing currency and economic data remain mixed. Growth data, construction & hawkish BOE positive for the Pound but low inflation is weighing on it. Currently trading at 1.543. Immediate Support lies at 1.53 & Resistance 1.547.
  • Yen continued range movement amid a very dovish central bank & risk aversion. Services PMI data today positive at 3.4% YoY and GDP growing at 0.6%. Currently trading at 119.5. . Immediate Support lies at 118.2 & Resistance 120.5.
  • Franc is the worst performer & continued depreciation after the massive appreciation on January 15, 2015 when SNB blinked on EUR/CHF floor. Massive appreciation will bear badly on the economy in the coming days. Currently trading at 0.95. Immediate Support lies at 0.937 & Resistance 0.954.
