FOREX: Broader risk appetite revived during the last couple of hours after a

lacklustre first half of the session. JPY underperformed its G10 peers as a

result, with the Nikkei 225 moving ~0.7% higher. Little immediate reaction was

noted upon the release of the latest Japanese trade data, which revealed that

both Japanese exports and imports fell in February, while trade surplus shrunk

more than expected.

- Positive risk sentiment put a bid into the Antipodeans, with AUD leading gains

in the G10 FX space. The Aussie might have drawn a modest degree of support from

an uptick in Dalian iron ore.

- GBP slipped a handful of pips vs. most G10 currencies, amidst Brexit

uncertainty.

- USD was also relatively weak, with DXY falling 11 pips overnight.

- Japanese industrial output (f) comes out at the bottom of the hour. Elsewhere,

focus on a very quiet Monday turns to EZ trade balance, while the central bank

speakers' slate is empty.
