FOREX: The dollar was modestly better bid against its peers during the
holiday-thinned Asia-Pacific session. The Antipodeans were the main
underperformers as light profit-taking on US dollar shorts set in ahead of US
ISM manufacturing, construction spending and Fed Minutes, all due for release
later tonight. Aussie-dollar eased from $0.7837 to $0.7805, a slide in gold
(-0.3%) and silver (-0.6%) prices added to the downward pressure. Kiwi-dollar
trekked lower from $0.7109 to $0.7074. Cable opened toward the high seen
yesterday, the move extended to a fresh top of $1.3606 before fading slightly.
Euro-dollar edged lower from $1.2066 to $1.2042. Meanwhile, with Japanese
markets closed for another bank holiday, dollar-yen traded sideways within a
tight Y112.17 to Y112.40 range.
