February 13, 2017. The GBP is the strongest. The JPY is the weakest.
The snapshot of the strongest and weakest currencies as the NA traders enter for the day, show that the GBP is the strongest, while the JPY is the weakest. In JPY there was a headline miss in GDP (+0.2% vs +0.3%), and pre opening stocks/bond yields are higher giving the USD a boost. The weekend meetings with Japan’s PM Abe did not lead to any manipulation charges either.
