FOREX: Yen Outperformance Continues, AU CPI Shortly
FOREX
Early USD trends are skewed modestly lower in the G10 space. The BBDXY index last under 1287. Yen is marginally outperforming, up a little over 0.15%. This puts the pair near 152.80/85, which is fresh lows back to Nov 11. It continues the recent outperformance from the yen.
- Carry over momentum may be aiding the yen from Tuesday trade, while renewed focus is on the BoJ outlook in the aftermath of the services PPI rising firmly yesterday and PM Ishiba pushing for further wage gains.
- Coming up shortly we have AU monthly Oct CPI. AUD/USD is little changed in latest dealings, last near 0.6470.
- Later on we have the RBNZ decision, where a 50bps cut is expected. NZD/USD was last near 0.5835/40.
- In the cross asset space, US equity futures are close to flat, while US yields are down a touch.
