It was another week of fireworks in the market but Friday's trading was slightly more subdued. The US dollar generally sagged and that might reflect so anxiety about the US-China meeting scheduled for the weekend. Trump floated an 80% tariff rate for China so we'll see where that all lands.

The euro was strong early in US trade and continues higher to 1.1292 before stalling ahead of the figure and steadily retreating back to 1.1250 last.

The one comment from Williams that stood out to me was him highlighting 'considerably' slower growth coming. That's a different tune from Powell, who repeatedly emphasized the strength in economic data to date.

That led to some Canadian dollar underperformance, though not in a big way is it's mostly the trade war that's driving moves.
