It was a disappointing day in terms of volatility after two days of stagnant markets. The Chicago PMI leaked and we had it first but the market was slow to react.
US dollar demand at the 1600 GMT fixing was biggest driver of the day. Afterwards, the dollar drifted back on most crosses.
An exception was EUR/USD, which was stuck at 1.2965.
I expect better action tomorrow with ADP, claims and pre-NFP positioning but that might be the optimist in me talking.
