On Wednesday, the evergreen buck ascended in Asia after Fed Chair Jerome Powell came up with a positive assessment of the American economy, although the statesman acknowledged there were some headwinds.
Jerome Powell told that the Federal Reserve doesn’t need to hurry up making a judgement as for further changes to interest rates. He added that the major US bank is ready to have its runoff of the balance sheet policy adjusted if required.
Gauging the purchasing potential of the major American currency versus its primary peers, the USD index added 0.2% hitting 96.005. The USD index went down overnight following Powell’s remarks, although the better-than-anticipated American consumer confidence data tamed downside momentum in the US currency.

In addition to this, the currency pair GBP/USD went down by 0.1% hitting 1.3242. This currency pair gained some support and rallied to a five-month maximum in the previous trading session right after British Prime Minister Theresa May provided UK lawmakers with an option to postpone Brexit. Later the UK currency rebounded from its daily maximum because experts told that the lack of other key catalysts pushed investors toward profit taking.
