Cable snaps back
Contrary to what many market participants expected in light of strong employment and inflation readings in the U.S., the Fed were surprisingly dovish at their yesterday's meeting, citing global economic developments as main risk.
Cable rose 150 pips in the two hours after the release which added to 220 pips from the day's low. 50 DMA is the immediate resistance with last week's high (~1.4435) the next target. 1.40 support remains firmly in place as Brexit worries seem to subside somewhat.

USD/CAD sells off on neutral BOC
USD/CAD sold off after BOC didn't cut rates and published neutral rate statement. Even though market wasn't expecting any cuts, apparently it was hoping for a bit more dovishness from them. EUR/CAD fell more than 150 and GBP/CAD 200 pips, with negative PMI data released in the morning weighing on both.
FOMC Minutes- Main Risk Event Of The Day
Beside BOE minutes and interest rates decision there is nothing else on the news wire that can be a market mover except the FOMC minutes. The only thing that matters for investors is to look for more clues as to when the FED will start hiking interest rates.

Although ECB may feel some pressure as inflation hits new lows, I'm not sure if ECB is going to easing or not as there is no clear view if they are
