FOREX: The latest trade comments from Chinese President Xi put a modest bid into
AUD, NZD & CNH, but the Antipodeans have pared some of their gains since. Xi
called for a quick conclusion to the text of a bilateral trade accord with the
U.S. and noted substantial progress in talks with Washington.
- Risk-on flows inspired by Xi's comments knocked JPY on the head, pushing it to
the bottom of the G10 pile. Muted to no reaction was noted upon the release of
Japanese labour cash earnings and household spending, with both measures
undershooting forecasts.
- Worth highlighting G10 crosses have stuck to tight ranges in the early part of
today's Asia-Pac session.
- Focus today turns to U.S. non-farm payrolls, German & Norwegian industrial
outputs, as well as unemployment data from Canada, while Atlanta Fed Pres Bostic
is set to speak. China & Hong Kong are off for national holidays today.
