CHF and JPY are the top G10 FX gainers today, up 0.07% and 0.01% vs the dollar while GBP and NOK are the top losers, down -0.42% and -0.12% vs the dollar. The U.S. dollar edged to a two-month high in Asia today on better-than-expected U.S. GDP data seen last week which helped U.S. yields rally. The Market is now expecting the Fed to cut interest rates by 25 basis point this week but the key question is whether the Federal reserve will enter a full rate cut cycle or will this be a one-off move. In the Asian equities space, the Nikkei 225 closed down -0.19% at 21,616.80, Hang Seng closed -0.97% at 28121.32 and Kospi ended -1.78% at 2029.48. The European equities were trading mixed with the FTSE 0.93% at 7619.04, DAX 0.06% at 12427.04, and CAC -0.04% at 5607.58.
