USD turns it around, rising again after early Monday weakness

EUR, NZD, GBP, CAD and eyn are all weakening against the USD.

Political news has dominated.

However, market news centres on the People’s Bank of China and its easing today:

• China cuts 1 and 5 year loan prime rates by 10 basis points each

• PBoC announces cut to 7-day reverse repo rate to 1.70% from 1.80%

• PBOC to lower collateral for Medium-term Lending Facility (MLF) loans

Markets have been screaming at the PBOC for further support. These moves from the PBOC are being seen as ‘too little, too late’. Ungrateful lot, aren;t we?
