Risk trades in general are still being pressured with 10-year Treasury yields down 7.5 bps to 1.454% and oil also down 3% to $67.80 at the moment.
In FX, USD/JPY is staving off a drop below 113.00 for now while USD/CAD is knocking on the door of the 1.2800 level. The aussie and kiwi are also pressured but holding at key technical levels as outlined earlier here.
