USD risks still mainly to the downside
EUR/USD – Bias is for USD losses, unless U.S. data dismiss harder landing fears or fears of European slowdown and weaker equities undermine sentiment.
USD/JPY – USD/JPY still trading offered and benefiting from any dips in risk sentiment or concerns about US slowdown, but support remains strong near 142.
EUR/GBP – GBP edging higher after UK labour market data, but data was mixed and risks still look weighted to the GBP downside medium term.
AUD/USD – Weak commodity prices and soft Chinese data sapping sentiment but underlying fundamentals suggest scope for gains if equities stabilise.
Equities – Better tone at the start of the week and scope for Fed easing suggests downside risks are not substantial without much weaker data
