The euro declined against the U.S. dollar after ECB policymaker Ewald Novotny said that market analysts failed to understand signals from the central bank correctly and that they must pay more attention to economic data.
The pound traded range-bound ahead of the Bank of England meeting due later today. The bank is expected to keep its benchmark interest rate at 0.5%. A rate hike in the U.S. would allow the BOE to raise rates later too. Nevertheless analysts say that BOE rates might remain low for quite a while.
The Australian dollar rose on strong employment data. The unemployment rate fell to 5.8% in November from 5.9% reported previously, while economists had expected it to rise to 6.0%. A lower rate points to positive momentum in the labor market. The number of employed rose by 71,400. The greatest increase was recorded in New South Wales suggesting that most jobs were created in non-mining sectors of the economy.
The New Zealand dollar rose sharply after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand cut its key interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.5%, but signaled this might have been the last reduction in the current cycle. RBNZ Governor Graeme Wheeler said that he is concerned about the strength of the NZD. He added that a lower exchange rate would support economic growth.
