Wednesday of this week used to be a rather positive day for the shared currency which managed to add value against all but two currencies.
The US Dollar performed relatively well yesterday, even though the Housing Market Index came out lower than expected.
As it turned out, absence of news on Tuesday did not prevent appreciation of the Great British Pound.
On the background of a considerable decline in prices of such commodities as natural gas and oil on Tuesday, Gold used to be one of the best performers, being that it added 1.54% during last 24 hours.
On Tuesday of this week the euro traded in different directions against major currencies on the foreign exchange market.
Following its poor performance on Friday the Yen pared some of the losses on Monday, advancing 2.49% against the Franc, 0.24% against the Aussie and 0.23% against the Sterling.
Back on Monday, the yellow metal stayed on the negative side of performance table among main commodities as it fell 0.37% yesterday but showed the smallest bearish move, compared to its counterparts.
The British Pound dragged behind its counterparts yesterday, losing 0.61% relative to the loonie and 0.57% relative to the Euro, though the changes in other crosses were rather insignificant, between -0.12 and -0.25%.
In the beginning of a new working week on January 19, the euro registered a positive change against all but one currency on the market.
The Yen turned out to be the second worst performer on Friday, giving up as much as 1.35% of its value against the Aussie and 1.20% against the US Dollar.
Though the Pound lost against the US Dollar (-0.22%), it managed to outperform the safe havens.
Last Friday, Gold continued with its strong appreciating tendency, as potential risks from SNB's move on the franc's peg to the Euro are increasing demand for safe-haven assets.
During last day of the previous working week, the Euro continued weakening versus the majority of other currencies on the exchange market.
The Yen appreciated relative to most of its counterparts amid the risk-off sentiment.
The Pound was among the worst performers yesterday, gaining only against the Euro (+1.02%).
On Thursday, Gold used to be the unconditional leader among commodities.
Even though the Euro dropped on Thursday versus all major currencies on the foreign exchange market and a decline versus all of them exceeded 1%, it was far away for being the main market driver.
For the time being the Yen does not exhibit sensitivity to the Japanese data, as the risk-off sentiment continues to be the major factor in the market.
Despite there being no explicitly positive news, the Sterling turned out to be the second best performing currency on Wednesday, losing merely 0.03% against the Yen and appeciation 0.73 and 0.68% against the kiwi and Aussie, respectively.
During the previous working day on Wednesday, Gold declined just 0.16% during the trading session, as even negative US fundamental data failed to increase demand of the safe-haven metal and push the price upwards.
Yesterday, the shared European currency was mixed in terms of movements against other major market players.
Yesterday the Yen appreciated at the expense of all its major counterparts amid the flight to quality.
The British Pound turned out to be surprisingly resilient to the yesterday's events. The currency may have underperformed the Yen (-0.43%), but at the same time managed to gain relative to the kiwi (+0.51%) and relative to the Euro (+0.44%).
Yesterday, Gold used to be on the side of negative daily performers, even though it decreased just 0.22% during the market trading session and posted the smallest decline among all losers.
