Daily World Market Update

It was a quiet day on FX markets yesterday with most crosses not straying from ranges that had been set down last week.
GBP/EUR danced around the 1.11 level after services and manufacturing PMIs from the eurozone showed that expansion in those industries was still happening albeit it a reduced rate than previous. That caveat weakened the euro slightly but did not deal it a knock-out blow.
The dollar continued to lose ground on a trade weighted basis as equity markets moved upwards and investors sought to take on more risk. In an interesting aside an auction of 2 year US government debt was covered 3.16 times yesterday; this cover ratio is a lot higher than usual and shows that there is a lot of nervous investors still in the market.
It is a busy day on the data calendar with both US (0.8%) and German GDP (0.7%) revisions due; the UK’s is tomorrow. We also have US consumer confidence, Case-Shiller House Prices and the Fed minutes. We would expect the dollar to be fairly volatile after the GDP figure and continue now until the US holiday on Thursday.
