The US dollar is getting some respite this morning from the last weekââ,¬â"¢s heavy decline. Weaker than expected TIC data released earlier this morning helped the Greenback, but rumors persist of further sell orders capping the market on the upside. A correction is due given the recent sell-off but the market continues to sell into any rally. Economic data released this week includes PPI, CPI and Philly Fed.
Volatilities continue to be well bid with EUR calls and JPY calls trading at a premium over the respective put options.
