Markets:
CHF leads, AUD lags on the dayEuropean equities lower; S&P 500 futures down 0.2%US 10-year yields down 2.1 bps to 4.211%Gold down 0.3% to $3,034.26WTI crude down 0.4% to $67.80Bitcoin down 0.6% to $84,039That helped to keep the dollar a little more bid early one before the greenback is now keeping little changed as yields also ease lower during the session.
Besides that, GBP/USD also fell from 1.2950 to 1.2923 before holding around 1.2940 levels now. And USD/CAD is just seen marginally higher by 0.1% to 1.4335 ahead of the Canadian retail sales data later.
But with the risk tone keeping more cautious, it sets up for a bit of a nervy end to the week. That especially if we do get another selloff in risk trades later in the day.
In other markets, gold is also down slightly to $3,034 with the earlier low touching $3,022 during the session. Meanwhile, oil is also giving back some of its advance from yesterday as it is down to $67.80. But it is at least still poised to end the week slightly higher, still holding on to support from the 2024 lows for now.
