USD still strong, EURUSD at key level.

The USD rebounded yesterday and stayed firm overnight with the exception being against the NZD which rose after Russia lifted an import ban on Dairy products coming from New Zealand.

EURUSD is lower, however there is a significant Fibonacci support at 1.1060 that needs to break, in order for the path to open towards the 1.0980 key support. GBPUSD is also lower and currently testing 1.5570 support. A break below would open the way for a 1.5530 test. USD is generally trading higher compared to last few trading days as the market focus has shifted from the CNY devaluation concerns to the FED rate hike expectations. Reserve Bank of Australia also released its meeting minutes overnight which indicated that interest rates might stay on hold for a while as the weaker AUD supports the economy.

For today the Fed publishes minutes from its July meeting and the market will be looking for any clues regarding when rates will begin to be normalized. If you are trading the GBPUSD keep in mind that UK releases its inflation data at 08:30 GMT.
