FOREX: G10 crosses were range-bound overnight amid an exceptionally light

regional data calendar. News-wise, focus fell on some more Fedspeak (which

didn't provide major surprises) flowing in during the NY/Asia crossover and a

RTRS story stating that the U.S. & Japan may reach a small trade deal by Sep.

- The Antipodeans gained vs. all of their G10 peers at one point. However,

AUD/USD failed to find momentum above its 100-DMA and faded gradually, with the

Aussie joining the Scandies at the bottom of the G10 pile. NZD remained

relatively buoyant.

- GBP posted a minor uptick in early trade as the Times reported that Boris

Johnson is planning to hold a snap general election "while Jeremy Corbyn is

still around." The reaction move has faded since.

- In Asian FX, KRW struggled somewhat ahead of tomorrow's BoK MonPol decision.

Elsewhere, Thai central bank reiterated that it is worried about baht strength.

- Focus today turns to inflation reports from the UK, EZ and Canada, as well as

U.S. housing starts. Fed's George will make a speech, while G7 Finance Ministers

will meet in France.
