Reaction to otherwise firm U.S. inflation report was somewhat a surprise. Risk sentiment improved this week and we seem to have returned to the previous regime where the dollar is used as a funding currency, despite rising interest rates.

The "Smart Money" have moved from the Risk On currencies (Eur, Gbp, Nzd, Aud) to the safe heaven assets (Gold, Jpy, Usd). It's interesting that …

USD pulled back ahead of FOMC
USD pulled back across the board in the morning, but not so much against CHF and JPY as against other major currencies. This continued and turned into risk-on afternoon, in which EUR and NZD gained the most. FOMC meeting on Wednesday looms large and that may keep prices contained in ranges.
