FXStreet (Guatemala) - Analysts at Rabobank noted the quiet shift but suggested things could heat up as we progress.

Key Quotes:

"Today is likely the calm before the market storm, although it may not be that calm. It’s only news-flow (like Alex’s coffee shock) here in the Asia session, followed by some BoE talk from Carney and Forbes.
