FX & Rates

The tariff fallout was surprisingly more towards a weaker USD. While this may reveal still underlying bearishness for the USD, other currencies, including EUR and AUD, appear to be more at risk than the USD.  USD/JPY may be finding a base after testing significant support near 105.  The Fed has turned somewhat more hawkish, the US economy has gained momentum, the Euro economy has lost some momentum and the Italian economy is likely to suffer in the political wilderness.

Coming To The Boil - US Overheating Watch #1

The USD testing key resistance after a double bottom.  Higher US yields and shaky equity markets lending the USD support.  Powell acknowledged the outlook for the US economy is brighter.  Emerging market currencies and equities wobble more than most in US trading.  Powell testimony suggests risks are skewed towards faster pace of hikes.
