Norwegian Krone vs. EUR, USD & GBP
  • The uptrend in EUR/GBP over the past six months through July reflected the risk of an independent implosion in the UK economy. The economy is certainly buckling under the post-credit crisis strain but so too is the Euro area, a story which is much more recent. (Morgan Markets)

Japanese Yen vs. GBP, EUR, USD & AUD Australian Dollar vs. GBP, EUR & USD

Chinese Yuan vs. EUR, USD & JPY
  • There has been a growing divergence between the falling equity markets and the lagged response of Asian FX lately. The key concern is whether Asian currencies will catch up with falling equities. At a superficial level, this equity:FX correlation is being driven by international portfolio equity flows. However, the ultimate drivers for these flows are expectations for the global growth cycle and how these may impact export and corporate earnings in the future. (Morgan Markets)
