FOREX: The greenback is lower against most of the majors as traders await the
outcome of the US-China trade summit.
- USDJPY briefly printed sub-109.00, and now trades back above the level,
although both flows and news flow were light with Tokyo observing a holiday.
- AUD benefitted from a strong Chinese Caixin services PMI print, to last deal
at ~0.7560, while the RBA SoMP provided a modest upgrade to the 2018 underlying
CPI estimate, although the remainder of the release was "on message." AUDNZD has
moved higher, breaching short term resistance levels, which has pushed the
NZDUSD cross lower, last ~0.7025.
- GBP & EUR have stuck to tight ranges against the USD. EURUSD has some notable
options set to roll off at 1.1900, 1.2000 & 1.2100-10 at today's 10AM NY cut.
- US NFP, Fedspeak from voters Quarles, Dudley & Williams & an address from
ECB's Weidmann provide the notable risk events on Friday. Fed's George, Kaplan &
Bostic will speak on a panel after hours.
