“Greenback gave up as market participants turn away.”
Greenback faces hurdle from the upside as it began to falter during European trading session. Last week, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signalled for an aggressive approach in monetary policy to curb stubbornly high inflation in the US. While his comment sparked a major appreciation on the greenback, investors began to price-in on that matter. Today, investors will place their attention upon meeting minutes from the European Central Bank to gauge the timeline for monetary policy tightening.
