USD: The Dollar is bid, USDJPY tests session high

USD
  • The Dollar trades on the front foot going into the European session, the talk of the Town remains on the Pound, and while plenty are pointing out at the early sell off in Cable, note that GBPUSD is still short of Yesterday's worst level of 1.2239, after only managing a 1.2267 into the European Cash Govie open, now some 20 pips off that low.
  • The NOK has now taken over the British Pound as the worst performer in G10, on the back of the bounce in Cable combined with some small selling interest in the NOK following the Weaker Scandie Inflation.
  • Despite Norway's lower CPI, USDNOK is still short of Yesterday's best level.
  • With Yield still tilted to the upside, the USDJPY stays close to its highest level since 17th July, printed at 158.55 this past Wednesday, so far only managed a 158.44 high, testing right now.
  • A clear break through, would open to 159.26 0.618 proj of the Sep 16 - Nov 15 - Dec 3 price swing.
