Dollar higher across the board against the major FX bloc
While it's not much, the USD is inching higher on the day so far as the Asian session approaches its twilight phase.
EUR/USD is down to 1.1791 briefly off session lows of 1.1789. Meanwhile, USD/CAD has moved back above 1.2800 and is now trading at session highs of 1.2814.
The AUD and NZD are the biggest losers on the day so far. The AUD was dragged down by trade balance data that came in below expectations. Meanwhile, the NZD move lower is exacerbated by NZD selling in the AUD/NZD pair. It is said that there are strong bids buying up the pair at 1.0980, and that's helping to keep the NZD pinned down for a bit.
