Investors are buying US dollars for a second day causing the Greenback to outperform relative to all G-10 peers. Quarter-end flows contributed to some of the dollar rally as did the closing of some speculative positions in front of Friday’s Non-Farm Payroll numbers. The more risk-sensitive Australian and New Zealand dollars are seeing larger losses as is the Norwegian krone.
