Morning Report: 07.00 London

The dollar continues to hover at the highs this morning. This 15 week high comes despite stock markets peeling off the highs and a massive day tomorrow. Wednesday brings both Non Farm Payrolls and the latest FOMC meeting.

Dollar pairs are mixed, with the AUD/USD lifting off the highs. By contrast, the EUR/USD and GBP/USD are making further (minor) losses ahead of public holidays across mainland Europe. The EUR/GBP is unchanged so far, following losses yesterday.

Both the USD/CHF and USD/JPY continued to climb yesterday, with 0.9950 now the next target for the Swissy.

Gold continues to retreat, with $1310 the next likely support level.
