There was some back-and-forth in most markets today as traders weighed the risks of holding positions over the weekend. In general, there was a move towards safe haven assets, including a nice rebound in gold prices early in US trade. The dollar was generally stronger despite some surprisingly-dovish comments from Waller.

The euro outperformed on the day and it climbed all the way to unchanged on the week before giving back some late amid broad USD strength. The dollar was even strong against the yen, where it rose to the highest since Tuesday, and fractionally below the highs of the week.

The week ahead is a light one in terms of economic data, with only the US PCE report as a major highlight. That will put the focus on the trade war, the Iran war and the Federal Reserve, which has emerged from its blackout.

Have a great weekend.
