FOREX: The first trading day of 2018 started slowly, the theme remains one of
broad-based dollar weakness, with the commodity bloc currencies the minor
outliers.  Aussie climbed from $0.7795 to post a fresh high at $0.7827, upbeat
Caixin China Manufacturing PMI helping to underpin. Kiwi-dollar trekked higher
from $0.7085 to $0.7108. The absence of Tokyo players due to the local bank
holiday saw dollar-yen being contained in a tight Y112.59 to Y112.79 range.
Meanwhile, euro-dollar trades at $1.2008 and cable at $1.3513, after trading in
respective ranges of  $1.2004 to $1.2024 and $1.3509 to $1.3521. European and UK
