Here are the top 5 forex currencies for intraday trading, along with their current bid prices
- EUR/USD
- Current Bid: 1.0785.
- Market Dynamics: The European Central Bank is expected to leave interest rates unchanged on December 14. Germany might be in recession, and other economies could follow, impacting the EUR/USD pair.
- GBP/USD
- Current Bid: 1.2563.
- Market Dynamics: The US Federal Reserve’s meeting on December 13 could significantly influence this pair. A weaker US jobs report on December 8 might suggest that high rates are impacting the labor market, potentially leading to rate cuts next year.
