XE Market Analysis: North America - Aug 12, 2015

Asian currencies and stock markets came under pressure again after the PBoC devalued for the second consecutive day, shifting the yuan's reference rate to 6.3306 versus the dollar, which is a 1.6% weakening of the Chinese currency, adding to yesterday's 1.9% devaluation. The yen was the exception as the currency's inverse correlation with stock markets kicked-in, driving USD-JPY to a low of 124.31 after the pair had earlier logged a two-month high at 125.28. The euro continued to outperform on fading Grexit risk. EUR-USD clocked a one-month peak at 1.1157.
