FOREX: Friday's focus fell on the US' May labour market report, which was solid

across the board. There was just as much focus on a tweet by US President Trump

noting that he was "looking forward to seeing the employment numbers." This

triggered debate over whether Trump had telegraphed the release.

- The DXY squeezed to highs following the ISM manufacturing survey, with light

profit taking seen thereafter.

- Commodity currencies continued to struggle amid softer oil prices and the

implementation of the US metal tariffs.

- Asia holds a thin docket today, with focus on Aussie retail sales data & Q1

GDP inputs. Elsewhere participants will look to the BoJ's Rinban operations

after the BoJ trimmed its 5-10 Year purchases on Friday.

- It is also worth noting that New Zealand is out on holiday so liquidity is

thinner than usual at this time.

- The FOMC is now in the "blackout period" ahead of next week's MonPol decision.
