FOREX: A mixed day for the dollar in the New York session, initially losing
ground after the release of weaker than expected NFP and AHE, this was off-set
slightly by better revisions. The release of better than expected ISM
Manufacturing gave the dollar a lift pushing it back over pre-NFP levels. The
dollar received a further lift after AFR reported "Trump will be under pressure
from Republican's to appoint a more hawkish policymaker".
-Aussie: The release of soft NFP and average hourly earnings witnessed the rate
jumps towards $0.7700.
-React to comments by AFR and strong ISM data, saw the rate drop to lows of
$0.7639. The pair remained close to the lows in late NY.
-YEN: NFP release saw the rate drop from Y114.00 to Y113.63 as gold rallied.
- Broad based dollar demand followed as US Tsys spiked and gold dropped. The
pair went onto print session highs of Y114.43.
-EUR: The release of US NFP witnessed the rate spike from $1.1658 to session
highs of $1.1690 before the sharp turn in the dollar witnessed the rate drop to
lows of $1.1600, where the rate remained close towards the close.
