US Consumer Confidence was marginally higher but inflation and employment remain key indicators. The EUR slipped below 1.1900, while the GBP fell back to 1.3840, despite stronger House Price data.

Asset bubbles only confirm the massive inflation problem coming down the turn-pike. Commodity currencies suffered a rebounding reserve, with the NZD crashing back below the Big, Big figure of 0.7000, while the AUD retreated towards 0.7500.
