Let’s review the events: The dollar regained some of its losses during the Asian session. The Euro and the Pound ran out of fuel. The dollar’s weakness isn’t enough to move them forward.

Industrial Production was a little higher than expected and rose by 13.9%. The US dollar  strengthened  slightly following these releases. The impact is notable on the Australian dollar.
