Gold has slipped by 0.5% today, currently trading at $1608/oz with the stronger USD the main reason behind the fall. WTI crude oil is also 0.5% lower at $101/bbl.
Regional stocks are generally lower by around 0.75% but Shanghai is bucking the trend, currently over 1% higher.
The FX market is very dull again today in Asia, so we will have to wait on the European market to liven things up.
