On Thursday, the Greenback edged higher against a basket of major currencies on strong U.S. data and as Trump said during a meeting with U.S. airline managers, that he would announce the most ambitious tax reform plan that calls for “lowering the overall tax burden of American businesses." The U.S. dollar index rose as much as 0.5% and settled at 100.60 pips.
Euro
Euro declined yesterday to $1.065 as an opinion poll showed the far-right leader Marine Le Pen will win the first round of voting when France goes to the polls on 23rd April. The common currency was also affected by Greece and the Euro-zone crisis as such crisis could have a negative impact on the Euro-zone's fiscal policy. Technically, EUR/USD could decline to $1.06 by today.
Gold
Gold prices fell yesterday to $1,230 and could decline to $1,225 by today. The yellow metal declined on comments by the U.S. president Donald Trump that he would announce the most ambitious tax reform plan. In addition, the White House press secretary said, such plan would cut the corporate tax rate to 20%, aiming to give companies incentives to keep jobs and will be comprehensive.
Oil
Oil prices rose yesterday after an unexpected draw in U.S. gasoline inventories and on tensions between Washington and Tehran. Although, the U.S. crude settled at $53, but it could decline slightly to $52.50.
