  • Overall the USD is down across G10s over a 5 days period, and today, AUD is the best performer, up 0.37%, aided by the recovery in Risk.
  • The pound extended some gains against the Dollar, still not yet the best performer, but slowly catching the AUD, AUD leads up 0.47%.
  • The Yen saw some unwind, after trading at its highest in 12 sessions against the Dollar, and despite the lower US Yield, the Yen is on the back foot against the EUR, GBP, USD, AUD, and is the only Currency down against the Dollar in G10, with the NOK.
