  • AUD/USD is down around 8 pips, the prospect of a lockdown in Victoria is weighing while losses in the commodity complex yesterday also weigh.
  • NZD/USD is down 5 pips, giving back some of yesterday's RBNZ inspired gains after RBNZ Governor Orr said the bank was still willing to cut rates if needed.
  • USD/JPY is around 5 pips higher, the Nikkei reported that Japan wants to extend employment subsidy programme through the end of July.
  • The yuan is weaker, there was a piece in the Securities Times that said the yuan exchange rate should be decided by the market.
