Analysis of the past day

On Wednesday, the main currency pairs continued to trade in different directions, which was caused by the growth of optimism in the stock markets and the progress in Brexit negotiations. At the same time, most currency pairs remain under pressure from the US dollar.

Stock exchanges close the day in a noticeable plus amid growing optimism and returning investors to risks (Nikkei 225 +2.06; DAX +1,50; FTSE 100 +1.30; Dow 30 +1.00), which more associated with positive reports of large companies and positive statistics for the United States.

The US dollar index updated maximum at 97.20 following the results of the trades. It was caused by the publication of  employment data in the US non-farm sector, which, in turn, increased optimism markedly before the Friday employment report in the US, thereby confirming keeping the uptrend in the US.
