I had time this afternoon, as I prepare for my TMA presentation tomorrow night here in Hong Kong, to find my clip from yesterday on CNBC, where I suggested the risk of a dollar recovery after it lost downside momentum in North America on Monday.

Sterling is the big mover.  It was marked down in early Asia, but stabilized and has recouped a third to half of its losses. Benchmark yields are flat to slightly higher, while equity markets are firm.
