KEY DATA RELEASES TODAY (BST) :
No Key Data Today
OVERNIGHT:
Benefiting from the USD weakness, the EUR has had its best week in a month despite growing concerns on Greece’s debt crisis. The European Central Bank is concerned if Greece runs out of money and starts paying civil servants with IOU’s, creating a virtual second currency in euro zone. Expectations of a swift EURUSD sell off following G20 communiqué over the weekend appeared to be relatively short lived as the pair transpires to be in consolidation mode in this morning’s after a lacklustre Asian session following last week’s break and positional adjustment to the topside. From here 1.085080 area acting as key resistance level. To the downside short term support comes in at 1.0760 followed by key level at 1.0660.Little in way of economic data releases today.
USDJPY has had five straight sessions now of lower highs/lower lows… Technically the pair remains magnetized by 119.95 (the level where the pair closed on Friday as well). 118.50 is the support level to watch now on the downside, where a break below could see a move towards 118. Players prefer buying dips, respecting the broad 118/122 range, and given the US CPI showing signs of stability, risk positive developments over the weekend, If carry remains a popular strategy, cross JPY demand should also keep the pair supported.
UK employment data on Friday was strong enough to generate further buying interest, but the GBPUSD was capped at the 1.5050 resistance level. This week, we get the BOE minutes as the main domestic risk to watch… anticipate the tone to reflect continued concern over the strong currency.
