Morning Notes
US Futures and European markets are higher in early trading. Markets sold off in yesterday’s session and are getting some relief this morning following the PBOC moving the yuan inside the 7 to 1 USD. This after the Treasury Department listing China as a currency manipulator. China responded with the rate change in an attempt to ease tensions and stated they would not use the yuan in the ongoing trade dispute with the US. Asian stocks settled the session lower.
