Session Recap: USD weakens as shutdown begins

FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - The USD weakened broadly Tuesday as the US government entered a partial shutdown after lawmakers failed to agree on funding for the fiscal year that began just after midnight.

For the first time in 17 years, parts of the US Federal Government have shut down due to political impasse. In the absence of a spending bill, thousands of government workers will be furloughed, national parks will be closed and other government's services will be affected.

EUR/USD reached a fresh 8-month high of 1.3587 but lost momentum and pulled back weighed by soft Eurozone data. GBP/USD scored a 10-month peak of 1.6259 before easing a tad. USD/JPY slumped back below 98.00.

The Australian dollar is among best performers as the RBA left policy unchanged and dropped its reference to an elevated AUD. AUD/USD has climbed nearly 150 pips throughout the day and hit a high of 0.9434.

During the New York session, traders will be watching the US PMI, the ISM manufacturing index and construction spending in an event-heavy week ahead of the key NFP report Friday.
