January 19, 2018.
DAILY FX, COMMODITIES & GLOBAL ETF’S REPORT
The dollar index traded mostly sideways with no major news on the agenda and very little leadership showing in the FX markets to carry the greenback north or south. Most majors traded in narrow ranges and the sterling was the place to go long and is trading now at June 2016 post Brexit day value. European markets traded mostly higher while the FTSE closed lower on the sterling strength and Asian markets traded flat overnight.
UK Retail Sales at 9:30 am is important news on the agenda Friday.
