It’s all ground to a halt out there it seems. We are still towards the upper ends of ranges and comfortably so.

EUR/USD has been pretty tight compared to the other majors and crosses. We’re at 1.3085 after a couple of failures at 1.3100

GBP/USD has had a gradual drift lower from highs of 1.5369 where orders and tech levels await between there and 1.5390, ahead of more offers at 1.5400. Currently at 1.5340

USD/JPY holding onto gains at 99.25 but not looking to take on offers and a $1bn option expiry just now. Still keeping half and eye on the big ton.

Yen crosses in GBP & EUR also holding gains well at 152.26 and 129.84 respectively.

AUD/USD Not much to write home about here. Still treading water between bids down at 1.0270/80 and offers at 1.0350

European stocks also keeping in the green and just off days highs. Early US stock futures prices are pointing to a 5-6 point gain in the S&P and flat in the Dow.
