EM FX: EM Currencies Drop as US Warns of Iran Attack on Israel
EM FX
- USD/ILS spikes 1% on headlines that Iran is preparing a ballistic missile attack on Israel, while major USD/G10 pairs hit new pullback lows. Across EM, USD/ZAR extends session gains to 0.65%, while USD/Latam pairs swing sharply into the green.
- Equity pressure evident in the drop in the e-mini S&P to 5775.00 (and counting) alongside some decent-sized sell programs crossing via the NYSE TICK index.
- US 10y yields make a clean break lower on the headline, pressing toward 3.70% on the 10y to cement the risk-off backdrop here.
