While there was little substance in official communique surrounding the call, its general tone was positive, which buoyed market sentiment.

  • The Antipodeans led gains in G10 FX space, while the yen was the main underperformer. JPY crosses were bought over the Tokyo fix, with another uptick driven by the risk-on impetus provoked by the Liu/Yellen call.
