Quiet on the data front

Quiet on the data front

The Asia-pac markets are mostly positive, but the Nikkkei is currently down -0.77%. The JPY found further strength and the Dollar Index remains below the 97.00 handle with indecsion ahead of the FOMC on Wednesday as it consolidates post the NFP surprise from Friday. I am expecting another relatively quiet morning session as there is little in the way of an expected catalyst on the data sheet for this morning.
