Most of the action across multiple assets.....>

FOREX
FOREX: Most of the action across multiple assets was in FX today, with very
little correlation or of note in Govies or Equities. 
- USD was bought against most global currencies. 
-Against G10, DXY traded higher and the USD broad base bid helped the likes of
the EURUSD and Cable trade lower. 
-The EUR weakness spilled over into CEEs currencies. which saw plenty of action
in PLN, HUF, etc...
-The initial broader USD buying has been one of the culprit, but the latest EUR
weakness also kept the lid on CEE currencies.
-As they say If it's not good for the EUR, it's not good for CEEs. -So, weaker
EUR pushed USD/CEEs higher and to a lesser degree EUR/CEEs. 
-Same story for EM, with the currencies coming under decent pressure 
-ZAR has traded in 14 big figure range, testing level last seen in mid Dec at
14.57, but off the high in USDZAR and trading at 14.54 at the time of writing. 
-Scandies/SEK is offered as it gives back some it EM/Risk gains. 
-CHF is stuck at current level, with Risk neither on or off.
