G10 FX price action was ltdto some very mild knee-jerk reactions to headlines from China's state media. A fleeting round of risk on flows emerged as Xinhua reported that top trade reps from the U.S. and China spoke by phone & agreed to keep in touch over sticking points in phase-one trade talks. Little of substance there, resultant price swings unwound promptly. Global Times then reported that there is still disagreement over the scale of tariff rollback.

USD/JPY posted an uptick upon the breach of its 200-DMA, whichprovided a layer of support subsequently. NZD/USD started by retracing its jump into the NY close caused by a beat in NZ retail sales,but regained poise thereafter.

The yuan responded to the aforementioned headlines, firmed up post-PBoC fix.

Four Ways the U.K. Election Could Play Out for Brexit

• Conservative Majority - Result: Boris Johnson’s Conservatives get more than 325 seats in Parliament.
• Little change - Result: The Tories are the largest party, but fall just short of a majority.
• Labour In, But Who Leads? - Result: The Conservatives have fewer than 300 seats, Labour loses ground too but enters government thanks to support from smaller parties. The Scottish National Party gets about 50 seats, the Liberal Democrats around 30, and a couple of former Conservatives running as independents somehow hold on.
  
• PM Corbyn - Result: The Conservatives sink to 280 seats, and Labour rise to a similar level. Corbyn secures the support of the SNP by offering the Scottish nationalists another independence referendum and becomes prime minister.
