However, talks around further Fed rate-hike have limited pairs rally, sending it back to the region of 1.3300 spot.

Overview:                                                         The pair is running in a calm mode at the start of this week slowly reclaiming its positions. Last Friday after poor NFP data the pair has refreshed its 5-day highs at 1.1252 spot but spike was faded quickly as The Goldman Sachs Group moved up the probability of September’s Fed rate-hike to 55% forcing the pair to lose all gained positions. Today the pair will witness thin trading range as Canadian and US markets are closed due to celebrating Labor Day.

Overview:                                                         The pair came under fresh selling pressure at the start of this week and now is trading near the level of 103.50 as dollar is still weak after poor NFP figure provided last Friday. However, today yen will continue to experience bearish pressure as new wave of risk-on sentiments and dovish comments from BoJ Governor H.Kuroda are suppressing Japanese currency. Today the volatility level will likely remain at low level as US market is closed in observance of Labor Day.

Main drivers:                                                    None

Overview:                                                         Today US currency continues to lose positions against Swiss franc as dollar is performing its price corrections after disappointing US jobs report, seen last Friday. However, gains after NFP rally were quickly erased after Fed’s member J.Lacker hawkish comments. Today in light of lack of momentum the pair will remain influenced majorly by global markets’ sentiment.
