Besides a decent retreat in the Japanese yen today, there isn't much across broader markets to really pique trading interest so far. And understandably so when you take a look at what is on the agenda for this week. There isn't anything much today but there will be bigger fish to fry in the days ahead as seen below.

  • UK November labour market report (12/12)
  • US November CPI data (12/12)
  • US November PPI data (13/12)
  • FOMC meeting policy decision (13/12)
