The Bank of Japan posted a net loss of 200.2 billon yen ($1.8 billion) in six months through September 30 due to the impact of the strong yen, the first time it posted a loss in four years.

The central bank cited by Dow Jones said losses related to foreign exchange fluctuations totaled ¥ 697.6 billion in the fiscal first half, compared with a profit of ¥ 27.2 billion in the same period a year earlier.

"Historically, the Dollar has been negatively correlated with oil prices, meaning low oil prices have coincided with a strong Dollar, while high oil prices have typically come when the Dollar has been weak.

We argue that the importance of this empirical relationship is overstated for two reasons.

First, many of the counterpart currencies in broad Dollar indices belong to commodity exporting countries, so that falling (rising) oil prices push down (up) their terms of trade, which weakens (strengthens) their currencies. The negative correlation thus exists almost by construction, i.e. is a bit like looking at the correlation of oil prices with their reciprocal (commodity exporters' terms of trade). In short, the correlation isn't really about the Dollar per se, but about commodity exporters.

Second, fluctuations in oil prices often coincide with other developments that have effects on the Dollar, including global demand shocks or monetary policy changes. Both of these are present in Exhibit 1, which shows the drop in oil prices during the global financial crisis, which - being a negative demand shock originating in the US - moved rate differentials against the Dollar, and the pronounced drop in oil prices in 2014, which coincided with the BoJ and ECB increasing monetary stimulus, moving rate differentials in favor of the Dollar. This is perhaps one reason why the correlation of the Dollar with oil prices is less pronounced in changes than in levels

We examine the correlation of the Dollar with oil prices using daily data, controlling for interest differentials, risk appetite and other factors. It concludes that rate differentials are the most important driver behind recent Dollar moves, followed by oil prices.

We conclude that it is primarily the forces of economic divergence that are driving recent Dollar direction, in line with our forecasts which anticipate more Dollar appreciation (around 7 percent) on these grounds".

The 2017 outlook for Spanish regions is stable but fiscal consolidation pressures will continue and structural reforms may be deferred under the minority government, Moody's Investors cited by rttnews.

"Spain's improving economic prospects will help reduce budgetary pressure for the regions," Marisol Blázquez, a Moody's Analyst and author of the report, said.

"Spain's positive economic growth should gradually increase the regions' tax revenues and central government transfers, helping them to rebalance their budgets."

The annual growth rate of the broad monetary aggregate M3 decreased to 4.4% in October 2016, from 5.1% in September, averaging 4.8% in the three months up to October. The components of M3 showed the following developments. The annual growth rate of the narrower aggregate, including currency in circulation and overnight deposits (M1), decreased to 7.9% in October, from 8.4% in September.

The annual growth rate of short-term deposits other than overnight deposits (M2-M1) was more negative at -1.5% in October, from -1.0% in September. The annual growth rate of marketable instruments (M3-M2) decreased to 1.7% in October, from 5.5% in September. Within M3, the annual growth rate of deposits placed by households stood at 5.2% in October, compared with 5.1% in September, while the annual growth rate of deposits placed by non-financial corporations decreased to 5.5% in October, from 7.4% in September.

Among the events of the weekend, Saudi Arabia has refused to take part in the scheduled meeting of OPEC+, including Russia. Yesterday, the energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said that the oil market will balance by a natural way in 2017, even if the producers did not intervene, and therefore to maintain the current level of production can be justified. This statement has increased doubts about the achievement of productive arrangements to cut oil production at the OPEC meeting on Wednesday.

The US dollar fell sharply against all major currencies against the backdrop of profit taking after a strong US dollar exchange rate over the past three weeks. According to the futures market a Fed hike has 93.5% probability so dollar gains caused by rate hike pricing can be limited.

"The key question for sterling's evolution from here is whether or not the Brexit uncertainty discount is sufficient.

While the ultimate resolution of Brexit may have an impact on GBP's equilibrium value, at current levels, GBP represents clear long-term value, having been cheaper on a real effective basis only twice in the last half century: briefly at the depths of the Global Financial Crisis, and during its mid-70s balance of payments crisis (Figure 14).

In our view, this is more than sufficient discount, but that does not mean that GBP cannot get cheaper still.

While the medium-term value of GBP is extremely compelling, there is a strong incentive for buyers of long-term UK investments to wait for the Government to announce its Brexit negotiation plans. This leaves GBP exposed to further "flash crashes", particularly in periods of illiquidity as important constitutional questions regarding the Government's path to trigger Article 50 remain in question.

That said, positioning in GBP appears quite short and momentum indicators are indicative of oversold GBP positions (Figure 15),limiting the ability of GBP to extend significantly lower, even over short horizons".
