USD took its cue from US yields price action this afternoon.

  • The Greenback has been better offered for most of the session as US yields moved lower, after Equity pared some gains.
  • But US data spoiled the momentum after a decent beat in US PMIs and New homes sales.
  • U.S. Business output expanded the most on record
  • Equity spiked on the releases, in turn pushing US yields higher, which helped fade some of the USD weakness.
  • Nonetheless, the US Dollar is still trading mostly in the red, against all G10s and EMs, beside the TRY.
  • Looking ahead, BoC Macklem speaks to Parliamentary Committee.
