Daily thread to exchange ideas and to share your thoughts
Happy hump day, everyone! Hope you're all doing well as we get things going here on the session. It's been a good start for risk assets in general and the mood is mostly supported by hopeful optimism as US-China trade talks this week comes to an end.
Commodity currencies are leading gains on the day with the kiwi taking charge, followed by the loonie and then the aussie. Meanwhile, the euro and pound are also holding steady as the dollar and yen are lagging behind on the day as a result.
As we await the Bank of Canada decision, Fed speakers, and the December FOMC meeting minutes later in the day, expect the spotlight to stay on risk in European trading. In the meantime, be wary of Brexit headlines as well that could muddy the picture for the pound.
