FOREX: -JPY was comfortably the strongest in G10 Tuesday as the risk-off theme

that emerged throughout Asia extended throughout the European and US trading

days. After Japanese, Chinese and Hong Kong equity markets fell as much as 3%,

mainland Europe and US indices followed suit, prompting the S&P500 to touch the

lowest level since May with all sectors in the red. This fuelled USD/JPY losses

and brought the pair into close proximity to up trendline support at Y111.95 - a

level that will likely continue to garner focus.

-DXY was relatively directionless, allowing GBP to rise modestly thanks to

positive Brexit headlines (RTE reported the EU may offer a UK-wide customs

arrangement), but the GBP/USD topped out at $1.3044 before fading.

-AUD remained weak and traded within 15 pips of the year's lows against the USD.

Further China market turmoil could prompt the pair to show below $0.7043 for the

first time since 2016.

-Rate decisions from the Riksbank and Bank of Canada are due as well as prelim

October EZ and US PMI data. Fed also release the latest Beige Book.
