05/06/2020 at 09:32AM
In the G10 FX Market, JPY and SEK are the top gainers today, up 0.22% and 0.08% versus the dollar while EUR and CHF are the top losers, down -0.23% and -0.18% versus the dollar, respectively. The euro fell while the Japanese yen moved to a seven-week high versus the U.S. dollar. The British Pound is also weak ahead of BoE policy meeting on Thursday but we expect lockdown details on Thursday to be more of a market mover. |
