FOREX: -Once again GBP sits at the top of the G10 FX pile as markets continue to

price in the odds of a Brexit deal as soon as the end of the month. Reports

suggested that UK Government is said to be aiming for a late-November Brexit

summit, with no deal forthcoming this week. GBP/USD, however, was not able to

hold the gains posted in Asia-Pac trading, but holds above 1.30 in late US

hours.

-Despite this, market moves were largely shallow and short-lived, with traders

holding fire ahead of the US midterm elections, with results due late in the

Wednesday Asia-Pac session. CHF and JPY weakened (slightly) as equities in core

Europe and the US advanced.

-Emerging market FX was largely quiet also, although TRY traded stronger against

most others as further signs of a moderation in US-Turkey relations buoyed

Turkish assets. USD/TRY touched the lowest levels since early August on the

move.

-The RBA rate decision takes focus Tuesday, with ECB's Praet, Coeure and

Lautenschlaeger also due to speak. Data calendar is relatively light.
