USD/JPY was a notable mover on the session, continuing its decline during the US session to fall to lows under 156.40. There was no fresh news or data from Japan. Trade and interest was thin due to the New Year holiday approaching.

From China today we had the official, National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), PMIs for December. Manufacturing slid a little from November and disappointed estimates but remained in expansion for the third month in a row. Non-manufacturing, meanwhile jumped 2.2 points from November and well ahead of estimates.

Prior to the PMI data release AUD/USD traded higher (EUR, GBP, NZD all ticked a little higher) but subsided soon after the data. China 10 year bonds ticked a little higher (yields slipped). Chinese equities slid.

And that's it from me for 2024. Have a fun and safe New Year's Eve everyone!
