The Asia-Pacific session was a low-key........>

FOREX: The Asia-Pacific session was a low-key affair, the dollar was held to

tight ranges and remained little altered from yesterday's close in New York. The

main focus was on China's President Xi Jinping opening speech at the 19th

Communist Party Congress, where Xi started to lay out his agenda for the next

five years, with promises of accelerated structural reforms. Dollar-yen idled

between Y112.14 and Y112.27, last at Y112.22. Aussie inched up from $0.7841 to

$0.7858. Kiwi carved out a $0.7160 to $0.7178 range, investors are still waiting

to hear what party NZ First leader Winston Peters will go with to form the next

NZ government. Meanwhile, Euro-dollar was last at $1.1772 and Cable at $1.3192,

after trading in respective ranges of $1.1764 to $1.1781 and $1.3185 to $1.3198.

Ahead, a speech from ECB's Draghi (0810GMT) is the main focus, although, with

the title of the speech, 'Structural reforms in the Euro area' any reference to

monetary policy/QE may have to wait for another day.
