Top Gainers and Losers: Australian dollar and Japanese yen


Top Gainers - Global Market

Over the past 7 days, the US dollar index has declined. As expected, the Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained its interest rate at 5.25% during the meeting on June 14. Now, investors are monitoring economic statistics and trying to forecast the change in the Fed's rate at the next meeting on July 26. The Australian dollar responded positively to the increase in employment change in May to 75.9 thousand, which is the highest since June of last year. The Norwegian krone has strengthened ahead of the upcoming meeting of the Norges Bank, scheduled for June 22. Apart from the US dollar, among the leaders of the decline, the Japanese yen can be noted. Investors are slightly disappointed with the extremely accommodative monetary policy of the Bank of Japan and the retention of the negative interest rate of -0.1% during the meeting on June 16. It should be reminded that the Bank of Japan has maintained a negative rate since January 2016.
