EZ internal devaluations and negative demand spillovers vox

Eye-OpenerNordea
Lower bond yields and EUR/USD at 1.06 as ECB day is approaching * Euro-area inflation to edge up * Sharp drop in the ISM sends yields lower…and also the USD

The US dollar managed to survive the worst ISM manufacturing survey reading since 2009 as traders prefer to focus on the services side of the economy and upcoming jobs numbers. Fed chief Janet Yellen is also out speaking today.

From the FloorTF
Investors are refining their positions ahead of this week and month's crucial central bank meetings and event risks but there is a chance that even the most clear-cut narratives have become overbought even before the headlines roll in.
