Markets:
USD leads, AUD lags on the dayEuropean equities higher; S&P 500 futures down 0.2%US 10-year yields up 4.5 bps to 4.643%Gold down 0.3% to $2,747.19WTI crude up 0.4% $75.69Bitcoin down 2.2% to $101,773That didn't give FX traders much to work with as major currencies got stuck in narrower ranges. The dollar is sitting only marginally higher, helped out by a slight push up in yields again. 10-year Treasury yields were lightly changed early on but are now up to 4.64% and that could give the dollar more impetus later in US trading.
In the equities space, European stocks are holding their ground but US futures are lower after yesterday's gains. Tech shares are the ones leading the declines today with S&P 500 futures lower by 0.2% and Nasdaq futures lower by 0.5%. Dow futures are flat though at the moment.
It's all still to play for in trading today with US weekly jobless claims coming up before the focus turns back towards Trump as he is set to address world leaders via a virtual feed in Davos.
