FOREX: Currency markets mostly consolidated ahead of key economic data and
central bank meetings, news that Democrat Doug Jones had defeated Republican Roy

reverting back to range trading. Republicans now hold 51-49 majority in the
Senate(prior 52-48), which may be a headwind to the passage of the tax bill. On
the session, dollar-yen held a Y113.13 to Y113.58 range. Aussie pushed higher
from $0.7553 to $0.7581 before fading. Euro-dollar rose from $1.1736 to $1.1762
before stalling. Meanwhile, cable consolidated within a fairly narrow $1.3313 to
$1.3334 range, with the focus on today's UK Labour report.
