GBP
  • GBP/USD continues to recover and recoup yesterday's late losses, with the USD giving up early outperformance. GBP/USD is well back above 1.3550 and is now nearing the 1.36 psychological handle, which would in turn open yesterday's highs of 1.3644.
  • The greenback continues to eke higher across G10, with some attention being paid to some comments from CNBC's Steve Liesman, who cites officials both on- and off-the-record as talking against Bullard's outright hawkish interview late Thursday. Clip of Steve Liesman's comments found here: https://twitter.com/SquawkCNBC/status/149209370078...
