FOREX: Trump-Kim meeting ends with no agreement, SEK outperforms.
- Risk-off spilled over into Europe following White House headlines that said
'no agreement' was reached between Trump-Kim. 
- Safe-haven flows saw CHF & JPY sit top of the pile. USDJPY rejected a break of
Y111.00 with the retracement extending to Y110.66. USDCHF traded back through
parity to Chf0.9956 with the 100-dma at Chf0.9960 seen key at the close.
- Despite a slightly weaker Saxony CPI m/m reading, EURUSD extended the slow
grind to $1.1394, but has so far rejected a move above $1.14, a level that has
proved hard to overcome in recent sessions.
- Sterling witnessed some light profit taking off yesterday's multi-month highs
of 1.3350. GBPUSD based at 1.3272, before recovering above $1.33.
- SEK outperformed after the release of much stronger-than-expected domestic GDP
data. EURSEK gapped lower to Sek10.50, before second wave sales extended to
Sek10.4656.
- A reminder today that month-end bank models are suggesting stronger USD sales
for today's fixings.
