Antipodeans/Safe-Havens – AUD and NZD remained pressured throughout Thursday, while safe-havens CHF and JPY remained broadly well supported as a bout of global risk aversion hit equities and lowered bond yields.
Commenting on the risk-off tone, Forexxtra noted that “the risk-off theme is clear across all markets, especially in currencies with the strongest risk DNAs including the Aussie, Canadian dollar and the Kiwi. This feels very much as though this is a washout of positions which could have some real potential in a market which has already felt very thin this week.”
Forexxtra’s views were confirmed by Reuters, who noted there was a broad-based unwinding of risky positions by some hedge funds.
