Range-trading continues to be the dominant theme in foreign exchange, with volatility gradually falling further in G-10 currencies.

The Australian and New Zealand dollars have weakened against the USD reflecting the move lower across commodity prices.

In emerging markets the Polish Zloty has been supported by the approval of a $4.5bn lending programme from the World Bank.

Weaker than expected US employment data and a decrease in the UK services PMI helped bond yields and swaps to extend last week’s decline. UK 5y swaps fell 3bp to 3.57% and 3-month libor fell to 1.16%.
