Dollar trades broadly lower in relatively quiet markets today. Trading is rather subdued firstly due to quarter end effect. More importantly, traders are awaiting the highly anticipated Trump-Xi meeting. It's cautiously optimistic that some form of agreement would be made to avert further tariff escalations. But this is far from being certain. Staying in the currency markets, Australian Dollar is the second weakest for today, then Yen. Sterling is the strongest, followed by Swiss Franc and Euro. Over the week, Yen is the weakest one, followed by Sterling, and then Dollar. Commodity currencies are broadly higher, led by New Zealand Dollar. In Europe, FTSE is up 0.27%. DAX is up 0.53%. CAC is up 0.40%. German 10-year yield is down -0.001 at -0.319. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei dropped -0.29%. Hong Kong HSI dropped -0.28%. China Shanghai SSE dropped -0.60%. Singapore Strait Times dropped -0.21%. Japan 10-year JGB yield dropped -0.213 to -0.163. |
