DOLLAR
DOLLAR: DXY has slipped 5 pips and last sits at 96.07, which also represents the
21-DMA, with the greenback underperforming all of its G10 peers. Meanwhile, both
WTI & gold trade virtually unchanged. This comes after the dollar index fell 18
pips yesterday amidst the protracted U.S. gov't shutdown standoff. 
- On the downside, initial attention is drawn by the nearby 96.05 level, where
DXY bottomed yesterday. A break below would open up the psychological 96.00
level. Bulls need to jump back above the 100-DMA at 96.10 before targeting
96.37, which capped gains yesterday. 
- U.S. focus today turns to domestic jobless claims, as well as flash m'fing,
services & composite PMIs. No Fedspeak is scheduled, as the central bank goes
through its blackout period ahead of next week's FOMC MonPol decision.
