FOREX: EUR/USD closed sub-$1.14, post-ECB rate decision despite Draghi and the

Governing Council revealing little new clues or policy developments in the press

conference.

- GBP was particularly weak from the off, with a late BBG headline noting that

Brexit talks on hold with UK PM May's team in disagreement. This added further

pressure to GBP, EUR/GBP touched the 100-DMA (GBP0.8882), while GBP/USD had a

brief look below $1.2800 on the headline.

- JPY had little reaction to the fall in U.S. equity index futures after the

cash close (post Amazon & Alphabet earnings).

- AUD gained against all others in G10, continuing to defy those who are looking

for AUD/USD to break below the year's worst levels of $0.7041.

- USD/CNH rallied to touch a fresh multi-year high of CNH6.9669.

- U.S. GDP provides the data highlight Friday, while Fed's Mester, ECB's Draghi

and Coeure are also due to speak.
