FOREX: Sterling was under pressure into Tuesday's fix, cable touched $1.3221

before news of a Brexit deal spiked rate to $1.3388. Cable recovered to $1.3382

early Asia, eased to $1.3353 then slowly edged back toward $1.3380 into Europe.

In Europe the pair broke the $1.3400 handle and made fresh highs of $1.3431

before fading below $1.3400. Euro-dollar opened in Asia toward the lower side of

yesterday's $1.1827 to $1.1920 range, where broad-based dollar strength was the

theme, with the US Senate Budget Committee announcing the tax bill has been sent

to the Senate for voting. However, as Asia progressed and the European open drew

closer the pair moved higher from $1.1841 to $1.1867. Eur/Usd was helped to

intra-day high of $1.1883 on the back of better expected German regional CPI

data. News from North Korea that they had fired a new type of missile saw

Usd/Jpy slip from Y111.67 to Y111.38 in Asia before dip buyers cushioned falls.

The pair remains within a range of Y111.40-53 in Europe and is hovering near

yesterday's close of Y111.48. Holding firm ahead of German Saxony CPI, the

stronger-than-expected release squeezed Eur/Jpy to fresh daily highs of Y132.39

before fading.
