Treasury yields were down 5 bps early on but have moved up to flat levels on the day now. 10-year German bund yields are up another 9 bps to 1.937% with <a href="https://www.forexlive.com/news/german-yield-curve-in-deepest-inversion-in-three-decades-as-recession-fears-grow-20221125/" target="_blank">the yield curve seeing its deepest inversion since 1992</a> this week.</p><p style="" class="text-align-justify">USD/JPY was a notable mover as it pulled higher from 138.50 to 139.50, bouncing off daily resistance around 138.45 for now. Meanwhile, EUR/USD is keeping just above its 200-day moving average of 1.0386 as the pair trades around 1.0390-10 during the session.</p><p style="" class="text-align-justify">Other major currencies saw light action against the dollar as well, though the aussie and kiwi are down slightly against the greenback. AUD/USD is down 0.3% to 0.6740 as price keeps below its 61.8 Fib retracement level at 0.6767 while NZD/USD is down 0.4% to 0.6240 but that just takes away slightly from the advance in the past two days.</p><p style="" class="text-align-justify">All in all, thin markets is making for some light moves before the weekend as traders will have to look to next week and month-end trading to firm up any convictions.</p>
