Dollar, yen hold steady ahead of European markets open

Major currencies are trading lower against the greenback and the yen

Of note, most major currencies are testing their lows right now against both currencies mentioned. EUR/USD and GBP/USD has slipped to session lows of 1.1554 and 1.3020 respectively. Meanwhile, AUD/USD has also fallen to a low of 0.7211 on the day.

As for yen pairs, EUR/JPY (131.63), GBP/JPY (148.32), AUD/JPY (82.15), CAD/JPY (88.89), and NZD/JPY (75.18) are also at their lows for the day now although the ranges remain relatively tight still ahead of European trading.

The only real catalyst I can point towards for the mood here is the move lower in equity futures. Of note, E-minis have moved back to near the lows for the day down by 0.2%:

And that's helping to underpin the dollar and the yen a little ahead of the open in Europe. There isn't a clear risk off tone yet but keep an eye on this space for further moves later in the day just in case.
