Dollar regained some ground but RBA crushed it a little


Last night we saw the dollar regain some ground. US TIC data  came out better at 128.7bn and positive comments from Geithner helped boost the dollar.

The yen has come up a little but still remains heavy. Nikkei reports that Japanese car makers and electronic companies have changed their internal rates to 80-85 from 85-90.

Euro came down to 1.3937 after Geithner comments late in NY but jumped up with the aussie after the RBA minutes to 1.4005.

Aussie RBA minutes stated that the recent rise in currency would help ease inflation, which pushed the aussie up to 0.9960.

Data today:
US housing starts – 12.30pm GMT
German ZEW survey – 9am GMT
