During today's Asian trading, the US dollar fell slightly against the major currencies.
The focus of the market's attention this week is the meetings of the European Central Bank (ECB), as well as the Bank of Japan, the results of which will be announced on Thursday. Experts expect that the ECB will maintain a "dovish" attitude, and the Bank of Japan will not change the parameters of monetary policy, despite reports that it is discussing the curtailment of the anti-crisis credit program.
In addition, traders are waiting for preliminary data on US GDP for the 3rd quarter, which will be released tomorrow. Experts predict a slowdown in the growth of the US economy to 3% from 6.7% in the 2nd quarter.
The ICE index, which tracks the dynamics of the dollar against six currencies (euro, swiss franc, yen, canadian dollar, pound sterling and swedish krona), fell by 0.09%.
