A good set of numbers from the services side of the ISM. That sparks the buck into life as USDJPY jumps to 112.86 from 112.60. Once again we see comments regarding the weather but there’s promising noises coming through too.
We’re back on bond watch as US 10’s tick up to 2.345% which is helping the dollar too. Cable and the euro aren’t doing an awful lot.
Comments now from ISM’s Nieves;
- Services price gauge had been driven by energy
- Supplier delivery times have been affected by the hurricanes
- Respondents say storm recovery will boost demand
