GFX Afternoon Update May 29 2013

Good Afternoon

The Euro has been trading in a narrow range after the release of two reports from Germany offset each other. German CPI came in better than expected while the unemployment rate came in lower than expected, so not much action for the euro

The Bank of Canada announced their interest rate decision, which as expected was unchanged. One surprise was this announcement was expected to include indications that Canada would drop their tightening bias which did not happen. The Bank of Canada decided to maintain their current policy causing the Canadian Dollar to weaken.


Without any news to shake up the market most currency pairs have been stuck in ranges. Some of the news released today was expected to create some volatility in the market but this has disappointed and has not pushed it out of its ranges.
