FOREX: It has been a limited session for the major FX pairs, outside of the AUD
crosses. AUD/USD continues to be pressured by the slightly softer than expected
headline AU CPI release, last dealing at ~$0.7400, after a brief look below the
50% retracement of the move from $0.7360 to $0.7434 ($0.7397), with the next
level of support noted at yesterday's low ($0.7360).
- The remainder of the major USD pairs stuck to ~25 pip ranges, with the JPY
having little reaction to a Nikkei story noting that "the BOJ is unlikely to
make changes to its ultra-loose monetary policy at least until October, five key
BOJ watchers believe, despite talk that growing concern over the side effects of
prolonged easing could prompt action next week." Some even believe that more
easing is on the table to stoke price growth, according to the piece.
- Focus on Wednesday falls on EU's Juncker visiting U.S. President Trump. In a
tweet Trump stated that "the EU is coming to Washington tomorrow to negotiate a
deal on Trade. I have an idea for them. Both the U.S. & the E.U. drop all
Tariffs, Barriers and Subsidies! That would finally be called Free Market and
Fair Trade! Hope they do it, we are ready - but they won't!"
