We
had a decent range for USD/JPY and yen crosses. USD/JPY
popped above 154.00 with no fresh catalysts seen. The top didn’t
last long though, the pair soon dropped back to be around 153.55 or
so as I post and net little changed on the day.
Data
points today were from New Zealand and Australia, with AUD/USD a net
loser on the session:
- Australia’s
consumer confidence rose in November as consumers gained confidence in
RBA rate cuts ahead (which may take some time!) - Business
confidence, too, moved higher, in the National Australia Bank
October business survey. Business conditions were unchanged. Perhaps
the best news from this surevey were indications that cost and
product price pressures slowed further.
The
People’s Bank of China set the USD/CNY reference rate at its
weakest (for the yuan) since mid-September of last year.
Bitcoin
rose but has not yet hit the US$90K milestone.
