FOREX: The US dollar was broadly stronger against its peers during the
Asia-Pacific session, supported by firmer UST yields. Dollar-yen raced higher
from Y113.95 to Y114.73 before fading, demand into today's Tokyo-fix and stops
above the option barrier at Y114.50, added fuel to the dollar surge. Euro-dollar
eased from $1.1620 to $1.1597 before recovering to $1.1624 on Euro-yen demand
and as US rate yields pared some gains. Aussie eased from $0.7661 to $0.7639,
but recovered to $0.7655 on largely cross demand. Kiwi trekked lower from
$0.6921 to $0.6887, RBNZ's Q4 inflation expectations ticked lower from 2.09% to
2.02% and added further downside pressure. Meanwhile, Cable consolidated within
a $1.3059 to $1.3086 range. German Factory Orders and European Markit PMI's
provide the focus for the session ahead.
