A little bit of a slide for the GBP, AUD & NZD against USD
Not a lot, but all either close to or below overnight lows
Its been a quiet session so far for news flow, nothing much at all of relevance to the currencies

Overnight was dominated by the FOMC minutes.
- Sep FOMC Minutes: 'November now clearly on the table' for Fed's next hike - CIBC CIBC December Fed hike odds sit at 66.7%
- FOMC Minutes: Several voters thought rates should rise 'relatively soon'
