Yen is trading as the worst performing today so far, as pressured by surge in US treasury yields. In particular, 10-year yield is above 0.68 handle in pre-markets and could even challenge 0.7% today. US futures also point to higher open with S&P 500 could finally challenge record high. New Zealand Dollar remains one of the weakest after RBNZ's QE expansion. On the other hand, Swiss Franc is the strongest one, followed by Euro. Dollar is mixed, shrugging off better than expected CPI, losing some momentum as gold rebounds.
