GFX Afternoon Update June 12 2013

The US Dollar started this morning weaker and with a lack of any scheduled major releases today it had a lackluster morning. The US Dollar continues to be driven by volatility in the Yen, Aussie, and Kiwi which have all been strengthening, pulling the US Dollar down. The Aussie and Kiwi have been strengthened by higher gold prices which rose sharply at the beginning of the day, the Yen fell back today as traders view it as overbought. The Euro is stronger and was able to make some gains again today with EURO.CAD trading back near 1.3600

The Canadian Dollar continues to trade in a back and forth motion near 1.0200 with little short-term direction.

Tonight will see the release of the New Zealand Interest Rate announcement from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand which is projected to remain unchanged, if there is a decision to raise the interest rate then we will see some volatility in overnight trading. From Japan there will be the release of the level of foreign investment in Japanese securities which could cause some volatility if we see investment in Japan falling off

Have a great evening
