Weekly data point on consumer sentiment. The trend for this has been poor in past weeks.   A small recovery for the past week. . Not usually much of an FX mover, although last week's horrible drop took some gusto out of the AUD.

Risk hanging in there   European equity markets gently positive on the day and not much change from the open. See here.    Currencies risk on - AUD and NZD strength and CHF, JPY weakness with CHF leading the charge while Kuroda is on the wires still.
