FOREX
BulletMarketsForeign Exchange BulletsHomepage

The BBDXY USD index sits a touch under end levels from last week, last around 1244.80/85. Overall trends have been fairly muted in the FX space in Monday trade to date.

  • AUD/USD has outperformed marginally, up around 0.20%. Commodity prices remain favorable from a metals standpoint, with copper hitting a fresh record high. Regional equity sentiment is mostly positive as well.
  • US equity futures are marginally higher as well, while US yields are down a touch, losses are close to 1bps at this stage.
  • AUD/JPY is tracking higher, last near 104.45. We aren't too far away from late April highs of 104.94.
  • USD/JPY has risen a touch but hasn't broken back above 156.00 (the pair last 155.75/80).
  • NZD/USD is down a touch to 0.6125/30. A Q2 RBNZ survey of inflation expectations showed households saw a slightly lower median expected inflation rate for the next two years at 3% from 3.2% in 1Q. The RBNZ meeting on Wednesday is expected to be unchanged.
  • Later the Fed’s Bostic, Barr, Waller, Jefferson and Mester speak. There are no data of note.
