  • Kiwi is the weakest performer in the G-10 space. NZD/USD fell ~0.3% from peak to trough, however the move didn't follow through and the pair now sits ~0.1% below opening levels.
  • Yen is little changed and is consolidating above ¥149 this morning. USD/JPY is still in an uptrend, key support is at ¥147.43 the low from Oct 3 and resistance is at ¥150.16 high from Oct 3 and bull trigger.
  • Elsewhere in G-10 CHF is the strongest performer at the margins however liquidity is generally poor in Asia.
