The dollar remained soft against EUR and GBP, but was supported against JPY and the commodity bloc. EUR benefited on more short covering and broke back above 1.3500 amid strong German Ifo data and German Q3 GDP was confirmed at 0.3% q/q. Cable held on to levels around 1.6200, though profit taking by longs capped gains. AUD continued to struggle after negative currency talk from RBA and IMF this week. RBNZ also tried its hand at FX jawboning and this forced NZD through the 200-dma, though it was helped by weak AUD and macro funds pulling out of the commodity bloc. Elsewhere, BoJ Governor Kuroda told the Diet that it was too early to talk about QE exit, adding it would adjust policy when needed, which maintained the weight on JPY.
