Risk aversion was once again the common theme overnight, as European markets kicked off in a negative tone led by a weak knock-on from US and Asian sessions. In typical style, the US Dollar became the prime beneficiary posting gains against major counterparts.

Little support was seen for the Euro, which fell for the 3rd consecutive session, touching lows of US$1.4690 overnight.
