KOREAN WON: USDKRW broadly flat around the 1120 level as it continues to move in
a tight contracting range capped by 1130 on the upside and 1115 on the downside.
3-month risk reversals remain at their lowest level since 2014 as option markets
see a diminishing threat of a spike higher in the pair. 
- KRWJPY broke above short term range highs in NY trading but have edged back
slightly. Bulls need a break above 9.75 to shift the recovery rally into a
higher gear. Real yield spreads have moved in the yen's favour in recent weeks
but this is being offset by the return of a risk on tone in global equity
market. 
- Bloomberg noted that a top North Korean official is set to meet President
Trump and Secretary of State Michael Pompeo in Washington later this week,
according to four people familiar with the matter.
- The data docket is empty for the remainder of the week with GDP due out early
next week.
