FOREX: -"We are prepared to offer a partnership with Britain such as has never
been with any other third country" were the words that send GBP/USD briefly back
above the 1.30 mark as markets begin to price in the chance of a more favourable
outcome to UK/EU Brexit negotiations. GBP's rally puts the pair just shy of the
50-dma at $1.3046 and at the strongest level since Aug6. The move faded somewhat
as the German Foreign Ministry clarified that there will be no special rules for
post-Brexit UK. 
-GBP's rally put the DXY on the backfoot once more, which looks to close lower
for the ninth time in ten sessions. The dollar drop prompted EUR/USD to reclaim
1.17 after easing to $1.1652 at the NY crossover.
-Westpac's mortgage news weighed on AUD throughout the day to be the worst
performer in G10, allowing AUD/USD bears to re-target YTD lows at 0.7203.
AUD/NZD now eyes the 100- and 200-dmas at N$1.0848 and N$1.0844 respectively.
-Thursday brings Japanese retail sales, regional German CPIs, Canadian GDP and
US personal income/spending numbers.
