USD - The dollar rose against a basket of major currencies on Wednesday, buoyed by better than expected U.S. home sales data while a slump in both the euro and pound underpinned upside momentum in the greenback. The dollar continued its stuttering recovery from multi-month lows, hitting a session high of 99.96, after the U.S. National Association of Realtors said its pending home sales increased by 5.5% last month, which was far above economists’ forecast of a 2.4% increase. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback’s strength against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, gained 0.37% to 99.90
EUR - EUR/USD fell 0.56% to $1.0753, after a report surfaced, suggesting that European Central Bank policymakers are wary of adjusting their policy message in April, as it may lead to a surge borrowing costs for member countries.
GBP - The sterling lost ground against the greenback, after British Prime Minister Theresa May triggered Article 50, with GBP/USD, down 0.35% to $1.2402. The weakness in sterling was directly related to all the uncertainty and questions that we know have, after the U.K. began these proceedings. There's a lot more questions than answers, I do believe that we could see further sterling weakness. We remain short on GBP/USD
JPY - USD/JPY traded largely flat at 111.08, while USD/CAD dipped 0.08% to $1.3373.
GOLD - Gold prices held steady on Thursday, supported by uncertainties on the impact of Britain's departure from the European Union, U.S. policy under President Donald Trump and French elections, but at the same time capped by a stronger dollar.
Spot gold was down 0.1 percent at $1,251.22 per ounce, as of 0059 GMT. U.S. gold futures eased 0.2 percent to $1,250.9.
