USD
The dollar is generally lower with commodity currencies gaining the most against the dollar as oil and gold climb. Trading is light as markets continue to assess the Fed’s comments/intentions. This morning’s US PMI data for June was mixed – better-than-expected Manufacturing PMI and worse Services PMI. New Home Sales for May was both weaker than expected and lower than April’s figure.
GBPTomorrow, the Bank of England meets. Expectations are that it will keep its monetary policy and asset purchase program unchanged amid the narrative that any rise in inflation will be transitory. US dollar-related issues are currently driving FX markets more so than any pandemic or Brexit-related issues.EURThe euro is up slightly, in-line with a generally weaker US dollar. Earlier this morning, better-than-expected Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) data for Germany and the Eurozone in aggregate was reported for June.
CADThe Canadian dollar is up overnight as oil prices rose above $73 a barrel. This morning’s release of Retail Sales for April showed a significant decline of 5.7% MoM, much worse than expectations and March’s figure. However, the big upward revision in March’s figure led to little movement in the CAD.
ASIA/PACIFICThe Japanese yen fell to its weakest rate in more than a year, primarily in reaction to the Fed’s hawkish tilt last week. Expectations of higher US yields and steady Japanese yields is fueling the stronger USD versus the yen. Traders await tomorrow’s release of Japan’s CPI and jobless rate.
