FOREX: G10 crosses traded in a mixed manner, as participants assessed the Wuhan

coronavirus situation (risk negative) and reassuring Chinese official PMIs (risk

positive). An inline reading of m'fing PMI was coupled with a surprising uptick

in the non-m'fing gauge. Chinese NBS highlighted that the survey was taken

before Jan 20, that is pre-LNY holidays and before coronavirus worry escalated.

- An uptick in oil prices lent a modicum of support to oil-tied FX.

- JPY was uninspired by a slew of local data, which painted a mixed picture.

- USD/CNH slipped into negative territory in reaction to Chinese PMIs and is

heading for the London session sitting south of neutral levels. Strong South

Korean industrial output data helped USD/KRW move away from its fresh seven-week

high printed at the open, but the rate rebounded thereafter.

- U.S. personal income/spending data, U. of Mich. Survey & MNI Chicago PMI,

Norwegian unemployment, as well as Canadian, French, Italian & EZ GDPs are the

remaining data highlights. ECB's Panetta, Schnabel & Mersch will speak.
