Markets:

  • EUR leads, AUD lags on the day
  • European equities higher; S&P 500 futures up 0.6%
  • US 10-year yields up 0.7 bps to 2.754%
  • Gold down 0.3% to $1,846.32
  • WTI crude up 0.8% to $111.24
  • Bitcoin down 2.6% to $28,975

The session started off with more of a cautious tone but we quickly moved on to the “markets in search of a breather” mode as equities nudged higher while the dollar softened slightly against the euro, pound, and yen notably.

The yen got a bit of a push higher early on after BOJ governor Kuroda touched on exit strategy from easy policy but as mentioned then, it isn’t really anything new. USD/JPY still dropped from 127.20 to 126.65 and was pinned lower amid help from a fall in Treasury yields. 10-year yields fell to a six-week low, testing 2.70% before bouncing.

There was a bit of a push and pull in equities as European markets opened but as we get settled in, stocks pulled higher alongside US futures. That is indicative of more of a breathing room, after Wall Street having seen seven straight weekly losses on the trot.

As the dollar dropped a little, EUR/USD is seen making its way up from 1.0680 to 1.0720 before keeping near 1.0700 now. There are a host of large option expiries for the pair tomorrow to keep things interesting.

Meanwhile, GBP/USD is seen moving up from 1.2570 to 1.2620 before slipping back under 1.2600 currently. Elsewhere, the dollar remains little changed.
