FOREX
FOREX: The first part of today's Asia-Pacific session has been particularly
subdued with investors awaiting PMI data from China, due at 0200BST (official
indices) and 0245BST (Caixin m'fing gauge). Also coming up in the Asia-Pac hours
are Australian private sector credit data & NZ business confidence.
- NZD has marginally outperformed the other G10 currencies, but its Australian
peer has failed to follow suit. Worth noting the latest NZ gov't 9-month fiscal
statements revealed a higher than expected budget surplus, which came in at
NZ$2.52bn.
- As a reminder, liquidity is limited due to Japanese markets being closed for
the Golden Week holidays. 
- Also worth noting that another round of ministerial-level Sino-U.S. trade
talks gets underway in Beijing later today.
- GDP figures from Canada, EZ, Italy & France, CPIs from across the EZ, German &
Norwegian labour mkt data, as well as U.S. cons. conf. & Chicago PMI come out
today. BoE Dep Gov Ramsden & BoC Gov Poloz are set to speak.
