With little data or newsflow expected....>

LOOK AHEAD: With little data or newsflow expected from the rest of the session,

focus turns to President Trump's first State of the Union this evening at

0200GMT/2100EST. Attention will shift to any comments on the administration's

preference for a weak/strong greenback.

-Deutsche Bank believe the SotU won't be particularly exciting, but brazen

attacks on China's trade 'manipulation' under WTO rules could prove negative for

CNY, CNH and Asia FX as a whole.

-Brad Bechtel of Jefferies writes that officials in Thailand, Indonesia, South

Korea and Malaysia are already struggling with dollar weakness and if Trump's

SotU pushes the USD even lower they will come under further pressure to combat

USD downside in the face of the G20's agreement against FX manipulation.

-RBC's Sue Trinh adds that lack of detail, timing or budgets behind promised

infrastructure spending could be another disappointment for those looking for a

USD recovery.
