There is not a real lot of news flow, and only minor data points so far:
Japan data - April wages +1.7% y/y & April household spending -1.7% y/y
UK data - BRC like-for-like sales in May -1.5% y/y (prior -1.7%)
Australian services PMI for May 49.2 (prior 57.8)
Australia data - ANZ Roy Morgan weekly consumer confidence 87 (prior 90.7)
Nevertheless the USD is showing some strength. As well as those in the headline, CAD and EUR are also lower against the big dollar. USD/JPY is hangng on to 132.
