GBP is the strongest while EUR the weakest

As we head closer to the Asia-Pac session, let’s take a look at where the FX majors are trading.

Sterling is in the top spot while the EUR has been the underperformer.

Can’t really put a good enough reason on the price ation yesterday.

CAD saw initial upside on a hot CPI print and then faded (would have expected a slightly bigger reaction when we consider positioning).

The Pound as the strongest currency doesn’t make a lot of sense considering the BoE last week and the upcoming election.

The EUR has reasons to trade cautiously I suppose, but with OAT/Bund spreads lower the weakness was surprising.

I’m just blaming month-end, quarter-end flows for now.
