The payroll “whisper” of -475k seems to me a bit too close to Goldmans own estimate of -475k for my liking, but it certainly has the market set up in expectation of a figure in that vicinity.

Currency markets seem a bit more risk averse than Bond markets this morning with Eur/Usd edging lower to 1.4170, with some buying interest seen at 1.4150.
