Wow, no time for tea so far this morning.
US govt shutdown as expected – crazy/sad days for the Obama administration, and indeed both houses.
RBA leaves rates on hold as expected but more hawish statement sends AUD higher
Abe goes with sales tax hike according to leaks across the wires. Yen weakens then improves
And all in the first 45 minutes. A pinch and a punch for the first day of the month !
Data coming up will keep us busy too, with EU mftg PMI and unemployment the highlights.
Should continue to be a lively session
Good luck out there.
