The dollar opened slightly firmer against most major peers as Monday's Asian session got underway on August 10, 2026. EUR/USD is indicated at 1.1554, with dollar pairs broadly showing the same modest firmness. Liquidity remains thin, a typical pattern for the start of the trading week.

The US dollar started the week slightly firmer against most major peers as trading opened in Asia on Monday, August 10, 2026. Early indicative pricing puts EUR/USD at 1.1554. USD/JPY is quoted near 157.79.

GBP/USD trades at 1.3487. USD/CHF holds near 0.8088.

USD/CAD is indicated at 1.3961. AUD/USD sits at 0.7060. NZD/USD trades near 0.5879.

Liquidity stays thin this early in the session, as is usual for Monday mornings before more Asian financial centers come online. That thinness leaves prices liable to swing around until deeper trading volume builds through the day.

The session opens in stages across the region. Trading gets underway just before 5am in Tokyo, 4am in Singapore and Hong Kong, 6am in Australia and 8am in New Zealand, with liquidity building as each center comes online through the morning.
