FOREX: Understandably, with key economic data out of the US later, the

Asia-Pacific session was a lacklustre affair. Dollar-yen eased lower from

Y112.31 to Y112.02, last at Y112.12. Aussie pushed higher from $0.7818 to

$0.7842 before fading. RBA's Financial Stability Review passed without too much

fanfare, where they noted that household debt relative to income continues to

edge higher. Aussie was last at $0.7833. Euro-dollar pushed higher from $1.1825

to $1.1851, the move may have been a delayed response to news out earlier, that

the ECB is said to be considering cutting QE to E30bn per month from January and

extending it until at least September 2018. Euro was last at $1.1850. Meanwhile,

Cable trekked higher from $1.3260 to $1.3283 and was last at $1.3277.
