FOREX: -GBP is the top performer in G10 for the second consecutive session,
looking to close very strongly on the week against the USD as GBP remains
underpinned by positive Brexit news. Markets continue to buy into reports that
the EU and UK are coming closer to agreeing on a withdrawal deal, opening the
door for negotiations on the post-Brexit relationship. The 100-dma remains the
next upside target at $1.3111.
-NZD was the poorest performer as antipodeans suffer alongside sliding risk
appetite. Equities were sold off sharply, along with Treasuries, following a
mixed US jobs report.
-CAD slid against most others despite headline jobs beating expectations as
September employment depended far more on part time jobs rather than full time
posts. USD/CAD looks to close the week higher, despite the early-week rally on
NAFTA news.
-UK production indices, US CPI and Uni. of Michigan numbers are next week's data
highlights, with various speakers from the Fed, BoE and ECB also due.
