  • As our Preview noted: This week's ECB meeting is widely expected to be a low-risk event.
  • Nonetheless, competing views on the economic trajectory and the lifespan of PEPP are starting to emerge, which could come into sharper focus by the time of the June meeting.
  • The Kiwi and the Pound are the worst performers against the Dollar, down 0.51% and 0.21% respectively.

  • The Kiwi is down against all majors, initially led by some AUDNZD buying interest overnight, but picked up further downside momentum versus the NOK this morning, down 0.62% versus the latter.
