ECB, Fed Minutes in Focus as Traders Look for Policy Clues

ECB, Fed Minutes in Focus as Traders Look for Policy Clues

Talking Points:

- GBPUSD backs off daily highs after BoE policy decision.

- Commodity FX bloc benefiting from policy speculation again.

- See the October forex seasonality report that favors US Dollar weakness.

Speculation over central bank policy staying looser for longer is helping the commodity currency bloc again.

See the above video for a fundamental overview of the USD-complex, plus technical considerations in EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, USDJPY, and the USDOLLAR Index.
