FOREX: - Renewed optimism on this week's Brexit talks with added USD sales saw
Gbp/Usd print its highest levels since January. The rate topped out at $1.4338,
just shy of the YTD high of $1.4345. Supply at the 4pm London fix pressured
Eur/Gbp to 11-month lows of Gbp0.8627.
- Eur/Usd also benefited from the weaker USD, but was unable to break $1.2400.
- Despite the weekend's military strikes, risk appetite remained at the NY
crossover with added support from firmer Equity futures. Usd/Jpy touched Y107.39
but was quick to pare gains following President Trump's tweet that said Russia
and China are playing the currency devaluation game, while US are raising rates.
Rate later eased to Y107.04 and seen approaching support at Y107.00. 
- CAD strengthened against the USD with a move back under C$1.26 with main focus
on Wednesday's BoC rate decision.
- Aud/Usd consolidated in a narrow $0.7752-83 range. RBA Minutes from the April
meeting are released tomorrow at 0130GMT.
- SEK was the best performer in G10 (+0.66%) as traders booked profits from
Friday's multi-decade highs. UK Jobs data the main highlight tomorrow.
