USD Firms In Recent Dealings

FOREX

The USD is drifting higher in recent dealings. The BBDXY has ticked up above 1274 (+0.10%). Yen and CHF are down around 0.10% at this stage. USD/JPY sits close to session highs near 148.70. EUR/USD is also weaker, last near 1.0540.

  • These shifts are line with a tick higher in US yields, but overall moves are fairly muted at this stage.
  • AUD/USD and NZD/USD sit a touch lower in recent dealings as well, but remain very close to Thursday NY closing levels.
  • Earlier we had weaker Japan Labor earnings data, which may be weighing on JPY at the margins, although there were negligible shifts in yen when the data printed.
  • The RBA Financial Stability Review highlighted some signs of household financial stress emerging, but incidences of severe stress remain small.
