FX SUMMARY- USD is favoured

FOREX

The story so far during the morning European session, has been the better bid in the USD.

  • The currency extended higher across the board and is up across G10s and EM, and that's despite risk still tilted to the upside, with Mini S&P hovering near all time high.
  • Worst performers against the Greenbacks are the Kiwi, the Aussie and the NOK, all down above half a percent at the time of typing.
  • AUD is weighted by further lockdown, with Perth joining Sydney and Darwin.
  • USDNOK is up 0.52% and now eye the 22/06 high at 8.6151.
  • In terms of Month End flow, this has so far been limited, with very little reported from desks.
  • Citi's prelim month-end model for June indicates slight USD sales.
  • And Barcap, preliminary run of month-end rebalancing model points to moderate USD selling against all majors.
  • Looking ahead, more speakers are scheduled but unlikely to hear anything new, since we have heard from them previously.
  • Today includes, Fed Barkin (At MNI Event), and ECB Lagarde, Villeroy, Weidmann, BoE Hauser.
  • Attention though, is already turning to the US NFP Friday.
