CAD - The Canadian currency is the clear winner, due to the rhetoric of the BoC that it might need to raise the rates. Traders supported the CAD. We remain long.
JPY - Was the strongest currency during the Asian session due to the risk aversion sentiment, but in order this to continue it will need help by lower prices of the indices. This situation will be short lived.
AUD - Currency tumbled after the RBA left rates unchanged. From one side the currency is supported by the raising commodity prices and better data from China and from the other, worst data from the country itself. We will practice patience until we see a clear signal, in which direction the AUD will be headed.
EUR - Was slightly lower, as the loose monetary policy will remain in force for much longer.
