EUR/USD - ...... Euro strengthened against the dlr on Wednesday as despite a brief retreat from 1.2495 to 1.2444 in European morning after dovish comments from ECB's Constancio, the single currency rebounded due to dlr's broad-based weakness after release of a slew of weak U.S. economic data and rallied to 1.2532 in NY morning before retreating.
Yesterday's intra-day rally suggests euro would continue to move inside the near '3-week long' broad range of 1.2357-1.2602 and stronger gain toward 1.2565/75 is likely to be seen later today .
Bids are placed at 1.2490-80 and around 1.2470/65 with stops emerging below 1.2450, whilst offers are located at 1.2525/30 and then 1.2545/50 with stops located just above 1.2550.
