The US dollar was a big loser in yesterday’s trading, as risk appetite seemed to benefit most other major currencies. There were no major reports released from the US economy then, as traders took the opportunity to book profits at key support and resistance levels.

GBP/USD Resistance Turned Support (December 9, 2013)
