– Above average volumes were maintained into the end of the week.
– GBP saw the highest activity on Friday with GBP/USD and EUR/GBP volumes in the top three currency pairs above their one-week average.
– EUR/USD volumes were declining as price ticked higher into the close of the week. This signals lack of buying interest and hence downside vulnerability.
–  Low volumes in commodity currencies (vs. USD) on Friday point to waning risk appetite.
