  • Risk appetite appears to have improved, with European equity markets in positive territory with gains of 0.7-1.1%. This has helped growth proxies and high beta currencies to the top of the table, with NZD, AUD and NOK outperforming.
  • US PPI data crosses later today, with markets expecting a moderation in price pressures on a M/M basis, although Y/Y metrics are expected to continue to climb, putting PPI Final Demand at 8.7%, another series record. Weekly US jobless claims data also crosses.
