What's coming up
Happy Wednesday.
The economic calendar includes a few highlights today as the US dollar skids against the Swiss franc and yen.
Geopolitics is the main focus as US and North Korea trade threats. That's helped to put a bid into gold, among other things.
Baring nuclear war, a few data points will grab the focus of markets.
Up first is the report on wholesale inventories at 10 am ET (1400 GMT). It's not generally a market mover but it will result in revisions to Q2 GDP estimates (2.6% was the prelim reading).
Thirty minutes later it's the EIA weekly US oil inventory and production report. The API data showed a big draw in crude supplies.
Later, the US sells 10-year notes at auction.
Early in Asia-Pacific trade, we also get the latest RBNZ decision.
