CURRENCY TRADING SUMMARY
U.S. Dollar Trading (USD)
continued to trade down against the major currencies. The US core PCE deflator came in at 0.2%, slightly higher than 0.1% forecasts. Dollar failed to rally on this data release and when the Chicago PMI printed down 8pts to 49.9 the US dollar selling extended. Looking ahead, the market will focus on US ISM manufacturing.

The Euro (EUR) traded in a range of 1.3165 to 1.3276, before closing at 1.3245 in the New York session. Comments by France’s Breton which indicates a softening in his stance to Euro’s appreciation helped the currency rally.

The Japanese Yen (JPY) traded in a range of 115.51 to 116.29, before closing at 115.85 in the New York session. Japanese CPI came out today and was slightly softer than expect but had no impact on the Yen.
