FOREX: Fresh risk-off flows have emerged after U.S. Pres Trump said that China
"broke the deal" and "will be paying," but retraced somewhat as he added that
"whatever happens with trade talks, it will all work out." JPY has topped the
G10 pile as a result. USD/JPY holds below Y110.00, with a source highlighting
Japanese banks on a bid in USD/JPY around session lows.
- The Antipodeans took a hit, with AUD landing at the bottom of the G10 currency
board. NZD has proved more resilient & lags only JPY. Worth noting the NY/Asia
crossover saw comments from RBNZ Gov Orr, who told NZ lawmakers that the
interest rate outlook is now "broadly balanced."
- CNH also softened in reaction to Trump's remarks. USD/CNH spiked into the
green and last deals ~30 pips higher. This occurs ahead of the release of
Chinese CPI and PPI, due at 0230BST.
- U.S. trade balance and PPI, as well as the Norges Bank MonPol decision take
focus today, after Chinese inflation data. Central bank rhetoric will be
provided by Riksbank's Jochnick, ECB's Hakkarainen, as well as Fed's Powell,
Bostic & Evans.
