NA Session

The USD was modestly firmer in North America, primarily supported by a bounce in April’s Philly Fed manufacturing index to a 2-year high of 15.5 from 3.2. Initial claims were unchanged and still low at 212k. Comments from Fed’s Williams and Bostic were also USD supportive. A 4.3% fall in March existing home sales was in line with expectations. EUR/USD fell to 1.0645 from 1.0680.

The USD saw similar gains elsewhere, USD/JPY to 154.65 from 154.45, even with a marginal dip after BoJ’s Ueda said a weak JPY could impact inflation and consequently policy.
