Quiet Start

FOREX

A quiet start to the session so far with major pairs sticking to narrow ranges. AUD/USD is down 3 pips, the Sydney COVID dynamic will continue to provide interest in the coming days, given the 1-week extension to the related lockdown in the city. Markets look ahead to a speech from RBA Gov Lowe later. NZD/USD is down 5 pips.

  • USD/JPY is down 2 pips, data showed the current account surplus widened more than expected to JPY 1.98tn while the trade surplus unexpectedly narrowed. Elsewhere NHK reported that Japan is set to announce another Covid-19 state of emergency in Tokyo.
  • Offshore yuan is slightly stronger. Markets look ahead to inflation data tomorrow while there is continued speculation around a possible RRR cut, the CSJ suggested the cut is likely to be targeted at SME's and could come at the end of Q3 if upward pressure on CPI eases.
