Tokyo midday update ... USD up, but patchy. NZD getting dragged off the plane.

NZD/USD looks to be today's biggest loser, giver or take

The USD is higher against the EUR, AUD ... and the CHF a little.

Cable is hanging in there ... but has slipped in the past few minutes to a session low.

USD/JPY fell earlier and is sitting pretty close to session lows, so a bit of yen strength countering the USD.

News flow has been light, as has data flow. We did get Janet Yellen earlier on:

Adam had the headlines:

  • US dollar wobbles on Yellen but moves small so far
  • Fed's Yellen: US economy is 'pretty healthy'

And, Reuters have a recap up if you'd like more:

As does Bloomberg:

And The WSJ:

  • Yellen:"indicates era of extremely stimulative monetary policy is coming to an end"

--

And Australian data:

  • Australia - NAB (March) Business Conditions 14 (prior 9), Confidence 6 (prior 7)
