EUR/USD succumbed to the marked rebound in the Greenback and receded to multi-day lows in the 1.0820-1.0810 band. The BuBa’s Mauderer is expected to speak.

GBP/USD came under renewed selling pressure and retested the 1.2940 region amid the widespread retracement in the risk complex. The GfK’s Consumer Confidence gauge will be released followed by Public Sector Net Borrowing figures.

USD/JPY reversed Wednesday’s drop and advanced marginally to the vicinity of the 149.00 level on Thursday. The Japanese Inflation Rate will be the salient event in the FX world on Friday along with Foreign Bond Investment readings.

AUD/USD lost further impulse and slipped back to weekly lows near 0.6270 following renewed buying interest in the US Dollar. The next data release in Oz will be the Monthly CPI Indicator on March 26.

Prices of the barrel of WTI maintained their choppy performance on Thursday, returning to the sub-$67.00 region on the back of the firm tone in the Greenback.
