Duncan Cooper from ACY Securities agrees it will likely be a big week for FX markets, sharing his analysis of the US Dollar Index, the EUR/USD, the GBP/USD, USD/JPY, and AUD/USD.

Duncan Cooper from ACY Securities agrees it will likely be a big week for FX markets, sharing his analysis of the US Dollar Index, the EUR/USD, the GBP/USD, USD/JPY, and AUD/USD.
