Analysis of the past day

At the trading on Thursday, the dynamics of the currency market continued to remain multidirectional, which was mainly due to the persistence of geopolitical risks. The main volatility fell on the single currency, due to weak statistics for the eurozone and the publication of  the ECB meeting results. As a result, the euro updated the annual low against the American dollar.

At the end of the day, the stock exchanges were mostly above zero, which was facilitated by the growth of optimism around the US-China trade opposition (Nikkei 225-0.09 DAX +0.20; FTSE 100-0.30; Dow 30 +0.10).

The US dollar index traded in different directions due to the influence of data for the euro area and the dynamics of the euro, eventually updating the high of the last weeks at 96.60. The index closes the day with restrained growth, actually keeping the side channel of the current week.
