04/28/2020 at 08:47AM
In the G10 FX Market, SEK and GBP are the top gainers today, up 0.4% and 0.3% versus the dollar while NZD and CHF are the top losers, down -0.26% and -0.19% versus the dollar, respectively. Swedish Krone jumped after Riksbank surprised markets by keeping rates on hold. |
The dollar is slightly on a weaker footing and FX markets are poised ahead of Fed and ECB meetings later this week. Oil prices crash has made the situation worse and we have still not seen any significant improvements in economic activity as nations have struggled to lift lockdown caused by Coronavirus Pandemic. ECB is likely to struggle with limited option to do provide more stimulus as compared to the Fed, BoE, and the BoJ that can print more currency. However, markets will be keen to see what the European Central Banks comes up with. |
