Rising US yields after strong employment report keep the USD well bid

EUR/USD – EUR still on the back foot as US yields continue to rise following the strong employment report on Friday. While European yields are, at the moment, also rising, it is harder to justify higher European yields, so EUR/USD still has downside risks.

USD/JPY – USD/JPY stabilising after the sharp gains on Friday, with spreads still suggesting it is a bit stretched despite the recovery in US yields. Focus on Japanese cash earnings data due Tuesday morning in Japan.

EUR/GBP – Underlying sentiment GBP positive as UK inflation is perceived to be more persistent than elsewhere, and UK PMIs continue to outperform, but positioning may be becoming a little extended.

AUD/USD – AUD under pressure as US yields rise, but should find support on the crosses if equity performance remains resilient.

USD/CHF – CHF benefiting from Middle East unrest, but a retest of the lows below 0.93 would likely require something that significantly undermined confidence and growth expectations.

Equities – US market remaining close to all time highs but may be vulnerable to any further decline in easing expectations.
