  • Most Asian currencies weakened on Friday as fears of more trade ructions between the U.S. and China dented sentiment, with the dollar benefiting from safe-haven demand even as bets on interest rate cuts persisted.
  • The euro fell on Thursday after the European Central Bank kept rates steady, as was widely expected, while the dollar index climbed after stronger-than-expected data on the U.S. labor market and manufacturing.
  • The euro held steady on Thursday, as did euro zone government bond yields after the European Central Bank left interest rates unchanged, and did not signal a cut in September was imminent.
  • The pound hit its highest in a year on Wednesday, driven by investors who are scrambling for juicier returns as global interest rates start to fall, but strategists say it will take more than higher rates for sterling to retain that sparkle.
  • The yen rose sharply on Wednesday in what traders suspected was likely the result of another intervention from Japanese authorities to prop up the battered currency from multi-decade lows.
  • The U.S. dollar edged higher Thursday, while the euro slipped ahead of an ECB meeting and sterling dipped as U.K. wage growth slowed.
