HiFX Update - US launches missile attack on Syria regime


HiFX Data Update - US launches missile attack on Syria regime


The Trump administration has unleashed cruise missile strikes against President Bashar al-Assad’s forces in response to a deadly chemical attack in rebel-held territory. The missiles targeted hanger, planes and fuel tanks at one Syrian military airfield.

This has sparked a market ‘risk off’ environment and increases the risk of confrontation with Assad’s primary backers – Russia and Iran.

President Trump is schedule to address the US public on the strike shortly.

The NZD is lower in immediate response.
