| 05:45 EDT |  | | Commodities have eased
Commodities have eased as the USD index posted a modest 0.3% gain to settle close to 84.00. Nymex is 0.2% lower to trade back below $97 bbl, while nominal gold headed back to $1377 on profit taking after it peeked above $1400 into the European open. Crude was boosted yesterday reportedly on news of a Saudi supply contraction and ongoing concerns about the Syrian conflict dragging others into the turmoil. Gold cut a large part of last week's losses amid a stop hunt during Monday's N.Y. afternoon amid expectations that Fed Chairman Bernanke could balance the recent argument for policy tapering. |

| 04:55 EDT | | | CNY strengthened to levels from late 1993
CNY strengthened to levels from late 1993 versus the USD, close to 6.1300 in the OTC market, as the overnight fix reached the highest level since the 2005 revaluation at 6.1911. Ongoing firmness fueled recent speculation that the PBoC will widen the FX trading band. Local economists expect PBoC to allow greater flexibility by Q3 as Beijing moves slowly to liberalise markets. The PBoc have warned over increased capital inflows and it has used its currency as way to manage inflationary pressures. The frothy inflationary backdrop has tied the PBoC's hand to a degree on policy at a time when the economic backdrop has been relatively mixed. Beijing is also a clever operator politically and Chinese President Xi Jingping is due to meet U.S. President Obama on June-7-8, where currencies are also expected to feature. |
