Lower USD rates, weaker USD and NOK * Busy week with Dutch election, Fed, Norges Bank and more * USD rates lower on good payrolls – exhaustion * USD down on profit taking as Fed hike priced in

Upbeat US nonfarm payrolls data were a positive factor for investor sentiment in Asia today but local events led to divergence in the performance of equity markets across the region. Meanwhile reports of an imminent Article 50 invocation have boosted the British pound.

From the FloorTF
We're in for a busy week. Mario Draghi speaks today, where he may squash ECB rate hike rumours that saw the euro closing higher on Friday. Tuesday, UK prime minister Theresa May is expected to get parliamentary approval for Brexit. The following day the Dutch go to the polls in their most contentious election in decades on the same day the Federal Open Markets Committee is expected to announce as rate hike. And the week ends with the G20 finance ministers' meeting.

The solid US jobs report on Friday failed to stoke any enthusiasm for the greenback as traders possibly eye G20 and Trump administration this week rather than the FOMC meeting and the expected rate hike.
