FOREX
FOREX: *CORRECTS TAG* G10 FX price action has been determined by the combination
of U.S.-China trade concerns & a parliamentary testimony from RBA Gov Lowe. AUD
outperforms in the G10 FX space.
- A BBG source report re: the U.S. holding off on a decision about licenses for
U.S. firms wanting to do business with Huawei triggered early risk-off flows;
cautious mood was reinforced by the effective breakdown of Italian ruling
coalition. The risk barometer AUD/JPY sank almost 50 pips before recovering.
- RBA Gov Lowe's remarks inspired fluctuations in AUD crosses. His comment that
Australian economy "may have reached a gentle turning point" supported AUD
crosses before they knee-jerked lower as Lowe mentioned unconventional policy
tools, but promptly deemed them unlikely.
- PBoC USD/CNY fix remains in focus, the RTRS est. is for CNY7.0222.
- The RBA's latest SoMP is yet to come out later today. Germany, France and the
UK will publish their industrial output figures today. The UK will also report
on flash GDP, while Germany will release its trade balance. Canadian
unemployment, Norwegian CPI and U.S. PPI complete today's data highlights.
