Yesterday’s session was quite after a pickup in volatility last week and there has been little in the way of movement overnight. This is despite some negative headlines that possibly sapped some of the market strength over the last 24 hours. Crude Oil has continued to fall with WTI reaching $64.50 as supply increases and reserves rise. The decline has been dramatic with prices at a high of $72.80 only two weeks ago.

The RBA has left rates on hold at their meeting saying inflation is likely to remain low for some time and household consumption remains a source of uncertainty.

US Factory Orders (MoM) (Apr) were -0.8% against an expected -0.3% from 1.6% previously which was revised up to 1.7%. The decrease in orders exceeded expectations but remains in the recent range of this data point over the last three years has been between +3% and -3.5%. However the drop shows a decrease in demand for US produced goods. EURUSD moved higher initially from 1.17157 to 1.17250 but then sold off to 1.16770 in the time after this data release.
