The day after...
Well....Shout. Shout. Let it all out...At least they didn't get physical. Kidding aside it is sad.
The day after a historic Presidential debate showcased the chaotic political environment in the US, the USD is ironically is the strongest of the majors while the CHF is the weakest. Admittedly, the changes are relatively modest with the major currencies not that far apart. As a result, there may be some shuffling through the day on the ebbs and flows (and technicals perhaps). ECBs Lagarde hinted of following the Fed in averaging inflation which is pressuring the EUR. Offsetting that was German retail sales that was better than expectations.
The ranges and changes are showing somewhat modest changes with all trading below their 22 day average ranges for the day. The USDJPY, USDCAD, AUDUSD and NZDUSD are all within 9 pips of the unchanged level. The EURUSD, GBPUSD and USDCHF are showing larger changes but each are off their extremes for the day.
