There's a bit going on in the market at the moment. Expectations for a Dec hike are starting to feature and that's circling around tomorrow's NFP's, and that seeing some traders squaring off USD positions, and round and round we go.

Looking at the FFR probabilities, Dec stands at 63.1% vs 52.7% a week ago. In contrast, Nov is currently 25.7% vs 17.1% this time last week.
