  • USD/JPY prints at ¥132.10/20, ~0.6% firmer in today's trading. The pair looks to be playing catch up with the more supportive yield environment for the USD as US-JP 10 year swap spread has widened in recent dealing.
  • AUD/USD prints at $0.6906, ~0.1% softer today. The pair has dealt in a narrow $0.6890/30 range for the majority of the session with support seen below $0.69. Pressure from lower Copper and Iron Ore has weighed on the Aussie.
  • Kiwi is little changed from today's opening levels at $0.6300/05. NZD/USD has observed narrow ranges with dips below $0.63 supported and resistance seen above $0.6320.
  • CAD and NOK are both ~0.3% softer; facing pressure from weaker Oil prices, WTI is down ~1%.
  • EUR and GBP are both ~0.1% lower.
  • Cross asset wise, e-minis are down ~0.4% and BBDXY is ~0.3% firmer. US Treasury Yields are little changed, although the front end 2yr yield is +1bps to 4.53%.
