"As the market is at the mercy of scientists and politicians when it comes to news on the dangers of Omicron and new restrictions it remains vigilant with elevated volatility. That really means that we need to remain cautious in the near future, follow the news flow and react quickly when push comes to shove," Antje Praefcke, foreign exchange analyst at Commerzbank Research, said Thursday in a note.
