There
was no high
priority news
nor data from Japan today, although
we did get machinery orders improving beyond median expectations. JPY
swings
continued. After
early trades above 148.00 USD/JPY has dropped back to under 146.70. ADDED – the thing is making a liar out me … under 146.50 now. Japanese equity indexes fell heavily as the yen rose.

The
USD was weaker pretty much across the majors board. Ranges were not
large. The
Australian dollar and UK pound rose to one-month highs. NZD/USD
gained, as did CAD. EUR/USD consolidated above 1.1020.

News
and data flow were light.
