EUR testing highs, JPY weakness looks overdone, equities making new highs
EUR/USD – EUR/USD testing 4 year highs with the USD losing safe haven support as Mid-East concerns fade, and suffering from reports that Trump will name Powell’s replacement as Fed chair early.
USD/JPY – JPY still soft on the crosses but gaining against the USD as US yields drop.
EUR/GBP – Holding above 0.85 with GBP undermined slightly against the EUR by USD weakness.
AUD/USD – Found good support below 0.64 and retains scope for gains above 0.65 although rising expectations of RBA easing are limiting upside
Equities – S&P futures made new all time highs overnight and sentiment remains positive helped by easing Mid-East tensions and rising hopes of Fed easing, but valuation remains expensive
