Understandably, it was otherwise quiet in the US. The dollar lost ground against sterling and a little against the euro, although it could have been worse. The pound climbed above $1.29 earlier in the day before falling back a little. Today will be much busier, as we will see the flash composite, manufacturing and services PMI readings for November.
