It is PMI day in Europe
Elsewhere, the dollar is steady after a bit of a drop yesterday against the euro and pound although it did keep a decent advance against the commodity currencies. The aussie is the laggard again today with AUD/USD down 0.5% to 0.6890 amid the dwindling risk appetite.
Looking ahead, euro area PMI data will offer something to chew on in the session ahead. We’ll see how resilient the economy is in the wake of more persistent inflation and if recession worries by year-end are becoming more justified.
