FOREX: Last week saw few significant moves with all major pairs closing on
Friday well within 1% of Monday's opening levels. 
- The DXY edged lower due to weaker than expected inflation readings on
Thursday, with UofM consumer confidence figures and relatively dovish comments
by Fed`s Bullard not helping the dollar's case. However, the greenback remains
on a broad uptrend thanks to it's widening real yield advantage. 
- NZD/JPY opened slightly weaker in Asian trading, with the services PMI missing
expectations but the cross remains within Friday's range.
- This week's focus will turn to several Fed speakers, the UK jobs report,
Eurozone and Japan GDP releases, German ZEW and US retail sales. Speeches from
ECB's Draghi and the BoE Chief Econ. Haldane are also due.
