Welcome to the market open of the FX week, and good forex morning, afternoon or evening to all.

Holiday trading continues and as such the normal thin liquidity at this time of each week is even thinner and more illiquid than ever.

Price guide:

  • EUR/USD 1.0956
  • USD/JPY 120.25
  • GBP/USD 1.4918
  • USD/CHF 0.9876
  • USD/CAD 1.3837
  • AUD/USD 0.7280
  • NZD/USD 0.6841

Indicative cross rates:

  • EUR/GBP 0.73411
  • EUR/CHF 1.08201
  • EUR/JPY 131.75
  • GBP/JPY 179.389
  • AUD/JPY 87.542
  • NZD/JPY 82.263
  • CAD/JPY 86.905
  • AUD/CAD 1.0073
  • EUR/AUD 1.50495
  • AUD/NZD 1.06417

NOTE: Cross rates are not taking into account any value date variations that are prevalent at this time of year especially with all the holidays about - cross rates are very much indicative only.

Usual caveats apply - being so very thin and illiquid, prices can move sharply on not very much at all. Liquidity will improve in coming hours as more Asian centres come on line, but beware of holiday trading all this week.
