US retail sale sand Empire survey on the strong side
Reasonably solid US data, with retail sales a little stronger than expected net of revisions and a higher than expected NY Empire manufacturing index haven’t had much FX impact, with the USD if anything slightly lower. Front end US yields are also slightly on the softer side, but the data doesn’t really support any USD weakness here, and we would expect a fairly quiet end to the week.
