Europe FX Handover – 1st May 2019
|-
With much of Europe out in observance of Labor Day, it has been a light day in FX during the bulk of European session thus far. Market participants are looking forward to the FOMC rate statement and press conference later.
-
GBP has remained the strongest currency ahead of this week's key fundamental events, owing in part to reduced fears over a no-deal Brexit, though the GBP/USD was approaching a key technical level around 1.3080 ahead of FOMC.
-
NZD has been the weakest following the publication of disappointing jobs data from New Zealand overnight, where employment unexpectedly fell by 0.2% in the first quarter, raising the possibility for a rate cut from the RBNZ next week.
