FOREX: Dollar Trends Steady Ahead Of More Data/Fedspeak

FOREX
BulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange Bullets

G10 FX markets have had a relatively muted start to Friday trade. The USD BBDXY index is down slightly, last near 1243.25. 

  • US yields are closed to unchanged as markets await PPI & U. of Mich. Sentiment later, while we also have more Fed speak. US equity futures are slightly higher, but we also have key earnings kicking off later.
  • Regional equity sentiment is mixed, with China markets down ahead of tomorrow's MOF fiscal briefing. We also hear from other authorities in China on Monday.
  • Still, this hasn't stopped AUD and NZD nudging a little higher. AUD/USD was last near 0.6745/50, still down for the week (-0.70%). NZD/USD has tracked back above 0.6100, still trying to recoup post RBNZ losses. Earlier data showed manufacturing in NZ stayed in contraction, while annual migration continued to slow. Food prices rose in September but this is ahead of next week's Q3 CPI print. Inflation is expected to fall back inside the RBNZ's target band (1-3%).
  • USD/JPY has drifted a little higher, the pair last near 148.70/75 but Thursday highs at 149.55 remain comfortably intact. 
  • Outside of the US data outcomes, we also have UK data coming up, headlined by monthly GDP.
