FOREX: Little to rock the boat so far. The release of better than expected
Australian November retail sales gave AUD a bump, but it was both modest and
short-lived as participants realised that the reading was boosted by Black
Friday spending. Elsewhere in G10 FX, NZD & CAD are slightly lower, while NOK
sits atop the pile. Reported covering of AUD/NZD shorts may have pushed the rate
slightly higher. All G10 crosses have been range-bound so far.
- Asian FX also tread water. USD/KRW has inched higher, albeit very marginally.
In Indonesia, a top official said that the central bank will allow IDR to
strengthen further.
- U.S. NFP report headlines the docket today, with the Canadian equivalent also
due. Norwegian CPI, French and Italian industrial outputs hit the wires too,
while BoE's Tenreyro is set to speak about domestic labour market.
