The Euro has turned lower while the British Pound has edged higher during otherwise quiet trading conditions through the European trading day on Tuesday.

The US Dollar, on balance, has benefited, with the DXY Index pushing slightly higher for the second day in a row. Outgoing Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen announced that she will leave the Federal Reserve Board of Governors when she passes the Fed Chair baton to Jerome Powell. Elsewhere, the commodity currencies are staging a brief comeback versus the Japanese Yen and the US Dollar as risk appetite has started to rebound globally.
