A very quiet NY session with the dollar.......>

FOREX
FOREX: A very quiet NY session with the dollar bouncing around with no real
direction. Towards the end of the NY session we witnessed the dollar receive a
boost as the US house passed President Trump's Tax bill.
- Aussie: The pair did remain under pressure through the crosses throughout the
NY session, however the rate stayed in a very tight NY range of $0.7583-0.7602.
-Yen: The break back under Y113.00 with added weight via UST yields
triggered fresh supply to extended pullback lows of Y112.74.
- A wave of dollar demand as the house passed the proposed tax plan
by President Trump. The rate jumped back over Y113.00.
-Euro: Continues its slow grind lower, following the break below its
earlier Asian low of $1.1769, with reported algo stops fired off on break of
$1.1767 with the rate dropping to fresh lows of $1.1757 just ahead of NY.
- Along with others pairs a very muted session with the rate trading in a tight
NY range of $1.1757-1.1785. The only excitement was Trumps tax plan getting
passed by the house with the rate dropping from $1.1777 to $1.1760 into the NY
close.
