  • Kiwi is a touch firmer trimming some of Friday's losses, last printing $0.6150/55. However moves remain limited at this stage.
  • AUD is little changed from Friday's closing levels, ranges have been narrow with little follow through.
  • Elsewhere in G-10 BBDXY is ~0.1% lower, GBP and EUR are a touch firmer.
  • Cross asset wise; 2-Year US Tsy Yields are ~2bps lower, and e-minis are 0.2% firmer.
  • The data calendar is thin on Monday.
