- Worth mentioning the U.S. has charged Huawei with bank fraud, wire fraud,

sanctions violations & IP theft, while the U.S. Department of Justice confirmed

that it is seeking the extradition of Huawei CFO Meng from Canada. This may

complicate the top-level Sino-U.S. trade talks, due to commence on Wednesday.

- DXY bulls need to retake yesterday's high of 95.92 before challenging the

21-DMA at 96.01, followed by the 100-DMA at 96.12. Conversely, bears look for a

fall through yesterday's low of 95.64, which would open up the 200-DMA at 95.25.

- U.S. focus today turns to domestic consumer confidence & Apple's earnings

report, while the speakers' slate is empty ahead of the FOMC MonPol decision due

Wednesday.
