The US Congress is still working on extending funding for the government administration from January 19 to February 16, thereby trying to avoid the so-called government shutdown. The Republican bill includes concessions for Democrats to gain partial support. This is in line with market expectations.
The USD managed to cope with the sudden sale from the beginning of the Asian part of the session. Movements lack a direct causative factor, which may mean that the market was looking for the last spurt to break the market after Tuesday's consolidation. After a failed attempt, it switched to profit taking.
