The dollar opened with a gap lower with focus on the US election tomorrow and is now starting to track back to the lows for the day. USD/JPY is back down to 151.60 with eyes on its 200-day moving average of 151.54 currently. The pair had opened with a gap lower of around 152.16 at the start of trading this week.
Elsewhere, EUR/USD is also hovering near the highs for the day with the pair up 0.7% to 1.0910 currently. Meanwhile, USD/CHF is down 0.9% to 0.8623 and GBP/USD up 0.4% to 1.2975 at the moment.
All of this comes with 10-year Treasury yields being pinned down by almost 11 bps to 4.276% on the day. It had started off European trading around 4.31%, just to give a bit of context to the moves during the session.
