USD Drifting Lower, Aust Retail Sales Up Soon

FOREX

Early G10 FX trends are biased towards USD weakness, but overall moves are very modest at this stage. The BBDXY sits down a touch last near 1247.5.

  • All the majors are ticking up against the USD at this stage. USD/JPY was last near 156.80/85, down slightly from end Monday levels.
  • The April services PPI rose more than expected, up 2.8% against a 2.3% forecast, but FX sentiment hasn't been impacted.
  • AUD and NZD are ticking higher. AUD/USD last near 0.6655/60, while NZD/USD is up to 0.6155, both currencies up less than 0.10% at this stage.
  • In the cross asset space, US equity futures opened higher but sit away from best levels. US yields are down a touch, with the 2yr and 10yr yields off around 1bps each, as cash Tsy trading re-opens after yesterday's holiday.
  • Coming up we have Australian retail sales for April as the focus point. The market expects a 0.2% rise after last month's -0.4% fall. Later we have Fed and ECB speak at a BoJ event.
