FOREX: After a busy couple of days in terms of central bank meetings and

economic data, the Asia-Pacific session witnessed a relatively quiet end to the

week, the dollar not veering too far from the close seen in New York yesterday.

Dollar-yen trekked between Y112.11 and Y112.40, with large option expiries seen

containing the range. Euro-dollar traded in a $1.1765 to $1.1791 range, euro-yen

flows dictated the gyrations on the session. Aussie-dollar was confined to a

narrow $0.7655 to $0.7673, local traders were happy to sit on their hands and

watch events unfold in the Ashes. Meanwhile, cable consolidated in a $1.3423 to

$1.3446 range.
