  • This gives markets a somewhat positive backdrop after the US holiday on Monday, with the greenback among the poorest performing currencies so far Tuesday.
  • Commodity-tied currencies also sit higher, with NOK and CAD recouping recent lost ground and putting USD/CAD back toward the C$1.2900 level at the NY crossover.
  • The EUR is also trading favourably, putting EUR/USD on course to test the key upside level at the 1.0622 50-dma. ECB speakers so far this morning have talked up the likelihood of tighter policy be year-end, with ECB's Rehn favouring a rate hike of more than 25bps at the September meeting.
