NZD and SEK are the top G10 FX gainers today, up 0.28% and 0.1% vs the dollar while GBP and CHF are the top losers, down -0.38% and -0.28% vs the dollar.

The EUR fell as the U.S. dollar gained broadly ahead of the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell address at the Jackson Hole symposium of central bankers at 1400 GMT. The market is overly dovish on U.S interest rates despite other Fed members signaling a reluctance to cut U.S. interest rates further. Investors will be keen to see whether he errs on the hawkish or dovish side.

The British pound was down once again following the sharp gains seen on Thursday after German Chancellor Angela Merkel gave Britain 30 days to come up with the Brexit Plan.
