MAJORS

DX:
– The Dollar was flat on Tuesday and within pretty narrow ranges (104.210-104.63), as it was initially underpinned by firmer US Treasury yields in typical ‘Trump trade’, before seeing some weakness later in the session after a solid US 7yr auction saw Treasuries rally into settlement.

There was limited reaction to the US data releases, whereby JOLTS came in beneath all analyst expectations and Consumer Confidence came in above the top end.
