The economic calendar is the key driver of the market today with important inflation data and FOMC minutes being released from the US. The expectation is for hawkish comments from FOMC policymakers which could strengthen the US dollar against other currencies like EUR, GBP and AUD. GBP is finding some support despite a bearish trend, while AUD is pressured by hotter than expected US inflation data. Bitcoin and Ethereum are also expected to see some bearish movement.
