</ul><h2>APAC TRADE</h2>

<h3>EQUITIES</h3>

<ul><li>APAC stocks were mostly subdued with the region failing to sustain the positive global risk momentum that had been spurred by US-China trade optimism and US government reopening hopes, while there were few fresh catalysts overnight to fuel the recent rally.</li>
	<li>ASX 200 faded its early advances as the outperformance in gold stocks and miners was negated by weakness in tech and the top-weighted financial sector following CBA's modest earnings growth, while the improvement in Consumer Sentiment to a 7-year high did little to spur risk appetite.</li>
	<li>Nikkei 225 initially rallied amid currency weakness and as participants digested earnings results, but eventually wiped out all of its gains as sentiment soured.</li>
	<li>Hang Seng and Shanghai Comp were pressured amid losses in tech, including Chinese e-commerce giants Alibaba and <a href="http://jd.com/" target="_blank" undefined="undefined">JD.com</a>, which failed to benefit, despite it being China's Singles' Day, which is the world's largest shopping event, as sales had begun weeks earlier in an effort to boost sluggish spending.</li>

Elsewhere, newsflow was relatively sparse, although there were recent comments from Fed officials, including Miran, Musalem and Daly, but did little to spur price action.</li>
	<li>EUR/USD lacked conviction and kept within tight parameters in the absence of any notable catalysts from the bloc.</li>
	<li>GBP/USD struggled for direction after its recent choppy performance and as UK unemployment and wages data loom.</li>
	<li>USD/JPY edged higher after returning to 154.00 territory but then gave back some of the gains as risk appetite soured.</li>
	<li>Antipodeans gradually trickled lower after having outperformed yesterday on the back of the risk environment.</li>
	<li>PBoC set USD/CNY mid-point at 7.0866 vs exp. 7.1204 (Prev. 7.0856)</li>
</ul><h3>FIXED INCOME</h3>

<ul><li>10yr UST futures remained subdued after demand was dampened yesterday alongside the broad risk-on environment, owing to US government reopening optimism and with price action also contained owing to the closure of the US bond market on Tuesday for Veterans Day.</li>
	<li>Bund futures faded the prior day's rebound and retested the 129.00 level to the downside heading into German ZEW data.</li>
	<li>10yr JGB futures remained afloat and continued to nurse recent losses with some curve steepening seen following mixed results in the latest 30yr JGB auction.</li>
</ul><h3>COMMODITIES</h3>

<ul><li>Crude futures lacked direction following the prior day's choppy performance in the absence of energy-specific catalysts.</li>
	<li>Spot gold extended on yesterday's rally with the precious metal back above the USD 4,100/oz level.</li>
