EUR\/USD is down 0.1% to 1.1645, mired by large option expiries between 1.1600 to 1.1700 today. Meanwhile, USD\/JPY is up just 0.2% to 148.31 and not doing all too much as well during the session.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" data-v-4026719d=\"\">The commodity currencies are down slightly with AUD\/USD lower by 0.4% to 0.6515 but overall it isn&#8217;t too significant in the context of this week so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" data-v-4026719d=\"\">In the equities space, we are seeing stocks nudge a little higher again. European indices are posting modest gains while US futures are also resting a little higher with tech shares leading the way. All eyes though will be on US data to reaffirm risk sentiment towards the latter stages this week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" data-v-4026719d=\"\">As for commodities, we are seeing gold cool off after hitting fresh record highs in the past two days. But price is still holding comfortably above $3,500 so that&#8217;s still a strong of confidence on the part of buyers to keep the momentum up in anticipation of the US jobs report tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Headlines: Markets: USD leads, AUD lags on the day European equities higher; S&amp;P 500 futures up 0.2% US&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43162,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[175],"tags":[79,18,19,17,188],"class_list":{"0":"post-43161","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-markets","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-markets"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
