FOREX
  • The Dollar has been better offered this morning, a continuation of the overnight session, but still worth noting that we trade within past session's ranges.
  • Best performer against the USD in G10, is still the AUD, up 0.33%.
  • The Aussie is in the green, after we tested lowest level in AUDUSD since the 27th August yesterday.
  • This is a continuation of the overnight session with some hope on the Covid, front as the country trials home quarantine for fully vaccinated people coming from abroad.
  • The early risk on tone in Europe is also providing a bid.
  • The Aussie is up against all majors, and also note very large option expiry with: 2.52bn at 0.7325 which could act as a magnet.
  • EURUSD is small up today, on the broader USD weakness, and we have 3.14bn worth of option expiry between 1.1745/1.1800.
  • Looking ahead, ECB Makhlouf, BoE Bailey are the notable speakers.
