    Outside of that though, the dollar struggled to maintain gains from yesterday as we see a retracement across the board.

    As for bonds, short-end yields are down slightly but the long-end continues to sell off with 10-year yields in the US now rising to 4.54%. It's certainly something to keep an eye out for as we look towards the closing stages this week and into the new year.
