FOREX: The DXY fell for a fourth consecutive session on Tuesday as Trump's

criticism of Fed policy dented the greenback further, before extra weight was

added as ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen reached a plea deal with prosecutors,

including an acknowledgement that "hush money" payments were made on behalf of a

candidate to influence an election. Elsewhere former Trump campaign official

Paul Manafort was found guilty of tax evasion and fraud.

- The JPY underperformed, with short-covering helping USD/JPY bounce from the

multi-week lows of Y109.78 printed in Tuesday's Asia session. USD/JPY bulls will

have taken confidence in the pair's recovery back above both the 200- and

100-DMAs at Y109.86 and Y110.01 respectively.

- EUR, SEK & GBP were in favour, despite some mild profit-taking after the UK's

Brexit Secretary Raab noted that there are still "significant issues to

overcome" in trade negotiations with the EU. GBP/USD still sits just above above

$1.2900 at typing, with bulls focused on the August 09 high ($1.2912).

- Focus on Wednesday falls on the FOMC's August meeting minutes, Canadian & NZ

retail sales, as well as a speech from RBA Asst. Gov. Debelle
