FOREX: With the lack of any clear drivers in the Asia-Pacific region, the dollar

was broadly unchanged from Friday's close in New York and held to fairly narrow

ranges. Dollar-yen traded higher from near Y111.40 to Y111.69 on largely

fix-related demand, post-fix, the dollar slumped to Y111.34 as risk took a hit

amid weaker regional equity markets. Euro-dollar attempted to head higher but

stalled at Friday's $1.1944 high and then eased to $1.1912 on euro-yen supply

before recovering. Aussie dropped from $0.7625 to $0.7593, modest risk-off theme

and softer Aussie-US 2-year yield spreads were seen to weigh. Kiwi followed its

Tasman neighbour, easing from $0.6893 to $0.6854 before meeting demand.

Meanwhile, Cable trekked between $1.3314 and $1.3348.
