2020-10-22 /THURSDAY The U.S. dollar steadied against most major currencies in Asian Market opening trades today, as U.S. stimulus talks remained the focus for markets with trading buffeted over recent days by the extent of progress made on the potential size of the aid package. The dollar index was nearly flat against a basket of currencies at 92.78, having marked its lowest level since Sept. 2 overnight. Yesterday, the dollar weakened after U.S. President Donald Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi boosted hopes an agreement on stimulus was close, sparking demand for riskier assets. For a while, the pattern has been that when stimulus talks stalled, equities fell, and the dollars were being bought due to risk-averse sentiment. But with optimistic headlines like these, the market is inclined to shift to risk-on mood and sell the dollars. But prospects remain dim for the Republican-controlled Senate to approve any aid before the Nov. 3 election. In currencies today, the Japanese yen was little changed at 104.71 against the greenback, having marked a four-week high overnight. The euro edged 0.11% lower against the dollar to $1.8465, a fraction below a one-month high of $1.8805 hit on Wednesday while the pound steadied at $1.3134 against the dollar. The Indian Rupee opened weaker and with a huge gap of 18 paise at 73.76/77 against its previous session’s close of 73.58/59 and is expected to trade in a range between 73.40 – 73.90 today. |
