FOREX: The dollar put in a mixed performance during a holiday-thinned

Asia-Pacific session. Dollar-yen started the new week at Y112.70 and held a

choppy Y112.33 to Y112.79 range, with cross moves dictating direction,

Dollar-yen was last at Y112.57. Euro-dollar pushed higher from $1.1718 to

$1.1748, last at $1.1743. Cable rose from $1.3053 to $1.3123, sources put the

move down to senior Conservative party figures publically backing PM May

following calls on Friday from former Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps

for her to stand down. Cable was last at $1.3084. Aussie trekked higher from

$0.7750 to $0.7782, last at $0.7774. Kiwi gapped lower from Friday's close in

New York to $0.7051 before recovering to $0.7080. Final NZ election votes were

counted over the weekend showing the opposition party gaining some ground,

although the outcome remains inconclusive. Kiwi was last at $0.7072. Meanwhile,

Turkish lira was a major underperformer, the dollar rising from Try3.6147 to

Try3.7684 as diplomatic relations with Turkey and the US continue to

deteriorate, after last weeks arrest of a US consulate employee in Istanbul. Try

was last at Try3.7335.
