Top Day Market News
Another light day in terms of economic releases. Aussie is lower on Central Bank assurances that they will keep interest rates lower for the foreseeable future. Crude drifts higher on ideas that there will be further draws in supplies at Cushing, Oklahoma the hub for the benchmark West Texas Intermediate oil. At the same time, wheat is higher on deteriorating crop conditions. Key market to watch technically today will be the bond market.
