The dollar is keeping more mixed today after last week’s drop, with equities looking more tepid and bond yields holding slightly lower on the day.
There wasn’t any major headlines to impact the greenback or risk sentiment, though we did get one for the oil market. Saudi Arabia said it would extend its voluntary output cuts until the end of next year, prompting a jump in oil prices.
However, that was quickly faded with WTI crude moving up from $74.15 to $76.00 only to erase all of that during the session.
Going back to the dollar, it is keeping little changed against the euro and pound. Meanwhile, USD/CHF is slightly lower and keeping just under 0.8600 as the break through the floor holds.
USD/JPY is lower as well with Treasury yields slightly lower on the day, holding around 138.10-20 levels mostly in European trading.
The antipodeans are the laggards, with AUD/USD down 0.3% to 0.6815 and NZD/USD down 0.5% to 0.6335 after following the fall in the Chinese yuan, which owes to a more disappointing Q2 GDP report here.
