FOREX: The dollar had a solid session as XAU remained under pressure, the Dow

printed another record high of 23,002 before fading. The dollar was also aided

by cable dropping in reaction to somewhat dovish comments from the BOE Carney.

Aussie remained on the defensive for most of the session, as XAU and oil fell

sharply, printing a fresh low of $0.7818 before paring losses and grinding back

towards $0.7845.

Despite having a tight range through the session USD/YEN remained in demand

following US Tsys yields. This combined with solid Import prices and NAHB Survey

Data, the rate printed highs of Y112.48 before declining.

Euro/Dollar was lead by broad based dollar demand, however it was slightly

contained by EUR/GBP demand. The pair posted a low of $1.1736 before paring

gains.
