Another quiet economic data day
Some of last week's USD strength has mitigated. However, that is only to be expected as a pullback. The real question is will the USD keep appreciating from here? Or will the bearish USD picture re-emerge. USD shorts were overcooked , so some of this is a short squeeze forcing the weaker leveraged hands to run. I suppose once the shock of a hawkish plot shift from the Fed has faded the question will be, how many hikes by when?'.
For now I am keeping with the short term ebb and flows with the USD as the medium term picture is too foggy for my mind. JPY crosses saw a decent bid yesterday and GBPJPY into the BoE meeting on Thursday looks good.
