NA Session
Global IT outages and a lack of US data helped ensure there was little FX movement in North America, USD/JPY trading near 157.50 and EUR/USD near 1.0880. USD/CAD saw a rise to near 1.3750 after a weak Canadian retail sales report for May, down by 0.8% and by 1.3% ex autos, but even that move was partially corrected. Equities were softer and UST yields slightly higher, and the USD marginally stronger overall.
