DOLLAR
DOLLAR: The dollar index sits at 95.60, marginally higher on the day, after
adding 24 pips yesterday, recovering after some pressure into the month-end
1600GMT London fix. 
- Worth noting a Xinhua headline which noted that "trade talks (between the U.S.
& China) made important progress." The article describes the talks as "candid,
specific & fruitful." 
- DXY bulls look for a break above yesterday's high at 95.62, which would bring
the 100-DMA at 96.15 into view. Conversely, bears eye the 200-DMA at 96.31
before challenging 95.16/15, which represents yesterday's low/100-DMA. 
- WTI has added ~$0.40 thus far, while gold trades barely changed at writing. 
- U.S. focus today turns to labour market data, ISM & Markit m'fing PMIs & U. of
Mich. Sentiment. Elsewhere, Fed's Kaplan will provide some central bank
rhetoric.
