FOREX: A fairly quiet start to the Asia-Pac session, as China and Taiwan remain
shuttered for holidays. G10 crosses stick to tight ranges, as participants
ponder the global coronavirus situation. Little in the way of fresh news flow of
note, apart from an unexplained explosion near Tehran & a lead for Joe Biden vs.
Donald Trump in the latest Fox polls. The Antipodeans lag their peers from the
G10 basket, while JPY showed some modest strength earlier. Comments from BoJ's
Kuroda & Adachi and in-line Tokyo CPI were ignored by the yen.
- KRW has firmed up, with USD/KRW falling through the round figure of
KRW1,200.00 & Jun 24 low of KRW1,198.95. South Korea's consumer confidence
improved to 81.8 from 77.6 this month, per the data released this morning.
- U.S. U. of Mich. Survey and personal income/spending, Swedish retail sales, as
well as French and Italian sentiment gauges take focus today.
