FOREX: Today's Asia-Pacific session was quite sedate & saw JPY sit atop the G10
pile, aided by the Nikkei 225 & U.S. equity index futures edging lower. USD/JPY
registered lows just a pip above the key Y113.00 level, as the greenback
struggled . 
- The Antipodeans found support in a MOFCOM statement noting that U.S. Tsy Sec
Mnuchin, U.S. Trade Rep Lighthizer & China's VP Liu spoke by phone and
"exchanged views on pushing forward timetable & the roadmap for next stage of
trade talks." 
- Sterling consolidated after yesterday's slump on the back of PM May's decision
to postpone parliament's vote on her Brexit deal, originally scheduled for
today. 
- INR generated some attention, following the resignation of RBI Gov. Patel
after hours on Monday, with rumoured intervention to stem the INR's fall noted. 
- Focus today turns to UK jobs data, German ZEW and US & PPI data. The speaker
slate is light ahead of various MonPol decisions over the next week or so, but
