FOREX: *CORRECT* Corrected information re: Japanese trade balance

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 balance increased (flipping to

a surplus), albeit slightly less 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.
