Good morning, afternoon or evening to all ForexLive traders and welcome to the start of the new FX week!

- USD/JPY 109.82
- GBP/USD 1.3759
- USD/CHF 0.9126, notably up a few points
- USD/CAD 1.2622
- AUD/USD 0.7306
- NZD/USD 0.6998 and this one notably down a few points
On the equities front, some of the weekend traders in OTC products (lookin' at you CFDs) indicating (take this as a very rough guide indeed):
