There's not much in it but risk tones are looking a bit shaky on the balance of things now. S&P 500 futures are slipping a bit more, down 15 points, or 0.4%, as we get things underway. Meanwhile, the dollar is seen slightly firmer across the board as well with USD/JPY knocking on the door of a firmer break above 135.00 and GBP/USD testing 1.2000.
