The US Dollar has given back all of its gains from Friday versus the British Pound and the Euro, leaving the DXY Index lower at the start of the last full trading week of the year. After acute gains last week, the Australian and New Zealand Dollars are taking a bit of a breather, although both remain well-positioned in furthering their bottoming efforts versus the greenback. Otherwise, traders are still awaiting the final details of the reconciled US House and Senate tax plan that could make its way to President Trump’s desk before Washington, D.C. closes down for Christmas.
