FOREX: Little to write home so far. G10 crosses trade in fairly tight ranges,
with safe haven JPY preferred over the riskier AUD, NZD & NOK even as regional
equity benchmarks operate in the green. A downtick in oil prices may be appling
a degree of pressure to the commodity-tied FX space, amid few drivers elsewhere.
- In EMFX, TRY has staged a slight correction of yesterday's rally driven by
U.S. Pres Trump's decision to lift sanctions against Turkey. Meanwhile, KRW has
shown little reaction to a slightly worse than expected flash quarterly GDP
figure (the Y/Y number was in line with forecasts).
- It is a central bank day in Europe with the ECB, Norges Bank and Riksbank set
to deliver their monetary policy decisions. Flash PMI readings from across the
globe, as well as U.S. durable goods orders and new home sales take focus on the
data front. Political events of note include a meeting between Japanese and
South Korean PMs, as well as the awaited China speech from U.S. VP Pence.
