Awaiting US CPI, FOMC and BoJ meetings.
EUR/USD – Dipping lower after strong non-farm payroll and the announcement of a French election, but a sustained break below 1.08 may require a hawkish FOMC, which may require US CPI to deliver more strong data.
USD/JPY – Initial focus on the FOMC but risk that Friday's BoJ meeting could squeeze JPY shorts if a 10bps rate hike is delivered.
EUR/GBP – Slippage below 0.85 could be reversed if April UK GDP corrects lower on Wednesday.
AUD/USD – Under pressure after strong US employment data but caution likely ahead of US CPI and FOMC.
EUR/CHF – Heavy CHF short positions suggest downside risk especially with political uncertainty growing in Europe after EU elections, but CHF valuation looks high, particularly against the JPY.
Equities – Fragile but if CPI avoids an upside shock Powell is unlikely to sound hawkish enough to trigger a major sell-off.
