USD: The U.S. dollar remains strong. This week we expect data from NFP which are key for the future of the interest rates. Today we will focus on announcements from the FOMC members Dudley and Harker.
JPY: The JPY tries to show strength, as it was traded a bit higher during the Asian trading session. The upcoming presidential elections in France could have positive influence on the risk-free currency due to the rising political tension.
GBP: The British Pound seems to have found support after the triggering of Article 50, which started the official countdown for Brexit negotiations. Investors will keep an eye for the Manufacturing PMI, as higher than expected reading should be taken as positive for the sterling.
