The AUD and NZD are the strongest. The JPY is the weakest at the day's start
North American traders enter for the day
The AUD and the NZD are the strongest of the majors as the North American traders enter for the day. The Australian employment data on the surface seemed worse than expected but as Eamonn pointed out, it was not that bad when you dig into the details (see post here). Plus the AUD and NZD benefited from a more positive tone from the report that US/China would have some trade talks. Risk on sent those pairs up a bit. The JPY is the opposite story on risk. With stocks and "risk on" flows rising, the Pavlovian reaction is to sell the JPY. The USD is mixed, but more down as AUD, NZD and EUR fall. The other pairs are mostly little changed with the USDJPY gain the most (but only 0.08%).
The ranges are light vs the 22 day averages (red line in the lower chart below). The JPY crosses have moved to the 22 day average line, but those pair's prices have moved off the highs too.
So overall, the market is happy for higher stocks and "risk on" flows (at least the bulls are happy), but it is cautious too. Are you?
