FOREX: Muted Monday
-Flat US equity markets did little to drive price action in either direction,
with markets awaiting the beginning of the US-China trade talks due to start in
earnest on Thursday. Ahead of the talks, White House Economic Adviser Kudlow
stated the White House is 'open' to whatever China brings to the table, adding
that the President wants to make a deal, but only a deal that's good for
America. The return of Hong Kong and Chinese markets Tuesday could increase the
focus on trade developments.
-Price action was muted and volumes light Monday, with most major pairs
respecting their recent ranges and trading at familiar levels. CHF was modestly
stronger as the currency bounces back from weakness last week, and the AUD
resumed its downtrend after failing to break above the $0.6784 50-dma.
-Japanese trade balance data, Australian NAB Business Confidence, German
industrial production and US PPI are the key releases Tuesday. Speeches are
scheduled from BoE's Carney & Tenreyro, ECB's Lane & de Cos and Fed's Powell,
Evans & Kashkari.
