- USD/JPY's sharp downtick puts JPY top of the G10 pile, with SEK and AUD similarly outperforming. AUD/USD prints the best level since mid-September, with the 100-dma of 0.6703 the next upside level.
- Focus turns to the prelim Uni. of Michigan release for November, with 1-yr inflation expectations seen ticking higher to 5.1% from 5.0%. The central bank speaker slate picks up, with ECB's Panetta, de Guindos, Lane, de Cos, Centeno and Nagel on the docket as well as BoE's Haskel and Tenreyro.
