The Canadian Dollar (CAD) drifted a little lower in quiet overnight trade but appears to have steadied around 1.38 ahead of the North American open. Trends continue to reflect the broader tone of the USD, Scotiabank's Chief FX Strategists Shaun Osborne and Eric Theoret report.
EUR/JPY trades around 182.90 on Wednesday at the time of writing, down 0.10% on the day. The cross remains under pressure as the Japanese Yen (JPY) benefits from a more defensive market environment, amid rising geopolitical tensions in Asia and continued firm signals from the Bank of Japan (BoJ).
Euro (EUR) appears to have entered a range-trading phase between 1.1695 and 1.1750. In the longer run, bias remains tilted to the downside, but EUR must close below 1.1680 before a move toward 1.1650 can be expected, UOB Group's FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.
