May 11, 2018.
The dollar index traded sharply lower after a ten day rally following the lower than expected CPI reading that triggered profit taking in the greenback. The BOE dovish tone sent the sterling lower versus all majors and signaled a different tone than expected just three weeks ago, when the sterling traded at Brexit levels. Global equity markets traded higher on US markets strength and a weaker dollar while commodities rallied on the CPI number, trading higher across the board.
CAD Employment change at 1:30 pm and ECB President Draghi speech at 2:15 pm are the important news on the agenda Friday.
