Holding steady

• US holiday. Quiet start to the week with the US on holiday. European yields ticked up, while in FX the AUD has been a relative outperformer.• Iron ore.

Will US payrolls rebound?

• Mixed signals. US equities rose on Friday. Bond yields nudged up. US holiday tonight but there is plenty of important data on the horizon.• USD bounce.

Currencies Lose Momentum as Caution Sets In

The euro, pound, and yen are essentially flat against the dollar this morning as month end flows begin to dominate the foreign exchange landscape, with market participants generally inclined to cut leverage ahead of what could be an extremely dangerous September. Data releases continue to paint a mixed picture of fundamental developments in the US economy.
