Currency Markets Consolidate Ahead of Critical Non-Farm Payrolls Report

An easing in tail risks is helping lift global markets this morning after the US House of Representatives passed a bill to raise the debt ceiling. The measure passed by a 314-117 margin late last night, with Democrats joining with centrist Republicans to push the bill forward for approval in the Senate. Although disappointing earnings estimates are weighing on several of the biggest tech names, equity futures are broadly higher, Treasuries are reversing yesterday’s rally, and the dollar is edging upward against most of its major counterparts. The number of US employment vacancies jumped unexpectedly last month, further firming odds...
