USD broadly steady awaitign more US data
EUR/USD – EUR/USD steady in the mid-1.12s awaiting more evidence of the trajectory of the US economy.
USD/JPY – Rejected the move above 148 and dipped below 145 on US downgrade but more significant JPY recovery will still likely need weaker US equity performance.
EUR/GBP – Found support near 0.84. More neutral tone likely unless we see significant news.
AUD/USD – Looks well supported below 0.64 and still has some upside potential if Asian equity markets maintain recent improvement.
Equities – S&P looking stretched near 6000 as some significant negative tariff impact still likely despite recent trade deals
