No faults with the risk mood so far to start the week. US futures are also holding higher as we look to get things going on the session. S&P 500 futures are up 0.8%, Nasdaq futures up 0.9%, Dow futures up 0.7%.

That in turn is keeping commodity currencies buoyed in the FX space. The aussie is leading gains with AUD/USD closing in on 0.7100 while USD/CAD is down and nearing last week's lows of 1.2713-20.
