The euro was also firm after NATO said a missile that crashed inside Poland was probably a stray fired by Ukraine’s air defences, and not a Russian strike.The Australian and New Zealand dollars fell slightly overnight, in response to the US data, and were steady in morning trade on Thursday.The Japanese yen hovered at 139.25 per dollar, while the Chinese yuan nursed losses at 7.1033 per dollar after China’s central bank promised to keep local liquidity ample and to guide commercial loan growth.
