USD Daily Forex Trading Analysis

The USD starts the week under mild pressure after a brief push lower in Asia was met with profit-taking bids. Traders note that volumes are modest and the day’s action so far has been largely technical as expected after the sharp break on Friday. Most desks are looking for the Greenback to trade sideways-to-lower ahead of US data mid-week as the economic calendar is very light to start the week. Although normally closely watched this weeks’ BOJ policy meeting will likely not influence trade very much as the BOJ appears solidly on hold with interest rates despite the stronger than expected GDP last week.
