-DXY spiked just before the US opening bell and continued to climb throughout
the afternoon
-EURUSD took a dive as the dollar gained strength; near session lows at the US
close at 1.1462.
-Commodity FX rallied as China-US trade deal talks advanced; MNI headline out on
PBOC, "Offshore Yuan Pares Rise on Report PBOC Wary of Further Gains-bbg" led to
USDCNH paring gains.
-USDJPY broke through 108.50 on the pre open dollar spike before paring back
some gains. Renewed dollar sales post US CPI further extended slippage to fresh
lows of 108.15. A downside break of
