However, the Pound remains weak with intra-day and hourly studies negative, according to Liviu Flessar, technical analyst at InnerFX: "Both short-term and intra-day studies are negative and a short-term change in momentum would be signaled only by breaking above 1.6100/30. Downside is favored for now."

The USD/JPY fell for a third day to 88.76 after touching a low at 88.65 :-
The USD climbed for a fifth day versus the GBP as a Federal Reserve official said the central bank may start increasing interest rates “sooner rather than later,” which boosted demand for U.S. assets. The USD climbed against 14 of its 16 major counterparts after Kansas City Fed President Thomas Hoenig said yesterday that raising interest rates wouldn’t derail the U.S. economic recovery. Yesterday Hoenig’s comments came after the RBA increased its main interest rates since the start of the global financial crises as the first country of the Group of 20. Anyways, the European central banks are expected to let their interest rates unchanged. The GBP/USD fell for a fifth day to 1.5905 and touched its lowest price during the October at 1.5805.
The JPY fell as Japan’s Nikkei 225 Stock Average climbed 1.3 percent and the MSCI Asia Pacific Index of regional shares advanced 1.5 percent.
