(Dow Jones via eFXnews) EUR/USD - to trade in higher range. Euro sentiment improved after the FT reported 11th-hour negotiations have begun for a 3-pronged rescue system to present at Friday's EU summit that could include allowing the EUR440 billion EFSF to continue running when the EUR500 billion ESM comes into force in mid-2012 and winning increased support for the IMF to stem the region's debt crisis. EUR/USD also supported by sovereign demand for euro; views that S&P's move to put France, Germany and 13 other euro-zone nations on review for credit downgrades might spur European leaders to work even harder to resolve crisis; stronger-than-expected 5.2% increase in German October manufacturing orders (vs +0.8% forecast). But EUR/USD gains tempered by fears of wider euro-zone recession; expectations of rate cut from ECB tomorrow.
Data focus: 1100 GMT German October industrial production.

(Dow Jones via eFXnews) USD/CAD - to trade in lower range. Undermined by dissipating investor risk aversion as optimism grows over efforts to tame Europe's debt crisis, while Bank of Canada said economic growth was stronger than its previous expectations as it kept its overnight rate steady at 1%. USD/CAD also weighed by buoyant commodity & oil prices (Nymex crude settled up 29 cents yesterday at $101.28/bbl).

Data focus: 0645 GMT Swiss November unemployment.
