DOLLAR-YEN
DOLLAR-YEN: USD/JPY last deals at Y113.70, higher on the day after climbing 9
pips Friday, with the yen at the bottom of the G10 pile early this week. 
- The pair opened this week higher after weekend's Trump-Xi meeting on the
sidelines of the G20 summit ended up with a "truce", limiting the demand for
safe haven currencies.
- Bulls keep an eye on the Nov 28 highs of Y114.04 and a break above that level
would give them a green light for targeting the Nov 13 high at Y113.15.
Conversely, initial bearish focus falls on Friday's low at Y113.34 and a break
below would open up the Nov 29 low at Y113.19. 
- Participants look to this week's Rinban ops after the the BoJ released is plan
for Rinban ops for the month of December on Friday. The plan saw the BoJ reduce
the number of purchases of 10-to 25-Year & 25+ Year JGBs to 4 times each/month,
from 5 prev. The indicative ranges for purchase sizes across all maturities was
left unchanged. Elsewhere, BoJ's Wakatabe is due to speak Wednesday.
