XE Market Analysis: Asia – Oct 01, 2015

The dollar was broadly lower in N.Y. trade on Thursday, with sentiment dented by a weaker than expected September manufacturing ISM outcome. Wall Street gave back opening gains and traded sharply lower through the morning, as yields faded, with the 10-year note dropping to within a hair of 2.00%. EUR-USD opened the session near 1.1150, before making its way to 1.1209 highs, where it remained into the close. USD-JPY fell under 120.00 following BoJ comments saying there was little need for stimulus currently, though the pairing later found support into the 119.50 level.
