Key Quotes
“It is another muted trading session in Asia ahead of the FOMC tomorrow and Eurogroup leaders meeting on Thursday. There were no hard data releases out today, but we did have some central bank commentary from the RBA and BoJ, but there was little in it to shift market sentiment.”
“FX crosses are mixed vs the USD but little changed from NY closes, the CAD the best G10 performer, +0.1%, and the NZD and JPY the laggards, 0.1% weaker.”
“Regional equities are mostly weaker, Japan –0.5%, China –1%, Korea –0.9%, but Australia +0.2%. NZGBs are unchanged, ACGB 3yrs –2bps, 10yrs +0.5bp. UST 10yr notes are 1.5bps lower in yield.”
“Little movement in commodities, gold is unchanged, iron ore futures –1.5%, but copper and Brent are up ~0.4%.”
