After two days of relative USD carnage in and across the emerging and asian FX markets, early AsiaPac trading this evening is seeing that trend revert with the Ringgit, Rupee, and Lira sliding. After-hours gains in US equity futures have been erased, despite USDJPY's continued BoJ-aided push higher (though it seems 119.00 is the new ceiling for now). China's government bonds remain extraordinarily bid (outperforming TSYs by almost 60bps in the last few weeks) with yields dropping to 6-year-lows, as corporate bond bubble fears rotate modestly back to govvies. Aussie miners are under pressure with Iluka Resources getting hammered on "excess capacity" warnings.
