Oil prices rose on Thursday, supported by plunging exports by OPEC-member Venezuela.
US dollar fell Wednesday, weighed down by the gains in the EUR/USD after an ECB official signalled that the bank could decide as soon as next week to wind down its EUR 30 billion-a-month bond-buying program, which some analysts credit with supporting the 19-nation currency union’s economic recovery.
USD/JPY is currently mixed in the Tokyo open where the Nikkei has failed to extend the risk-on sentiment after a very positive day on Wall Street that enabled traders to take on the 200-D SMA in USD/JPY.
AUD/USD is hesitating in Asia trading, falling back into 0.7650 after Australian Trade Balance figures contracted more than expected.
