FOREX

The U.S. dollar has gone offered and is pacing losses in G10 FX space, albeit by fairly narrow margins. Headline flow has been light, U.S. Tsy yields and e-mini contracts oscillate around neutral levels.

  • The yen has demonstrated its usual disregard for domestic data. Activity indicators released this morning were generally better than expected, with industrial production posting a surprise monthly expansion.
  • Spot USD/KRW re-opened on a firmer footing, printing new cyclical highs at KRW1,352.15 as a result, with onshore players digesting the overnight upswing in U.S. Tsy yields.
  • China's official PMI readings headline the regional data docket. Later in the day, focus will turn to flash EZ CPI & German jobless rate, U.S. ADP employment report & MNI Chicago PMI, as well as Canadian GDP.
  • The central bank speaker slate includes Fed's Mester & Bostic and Riksbank's Breman. Dallas Fed will hold an event to introduce its new president.
