EUR/USD - 1.1304... Although the single currency briefly penetrated yesterday's Asian high at 1.1325 to 1.1334 in Europe, lack of follow-through buying triggered profit-taking and price dropped to 1.1302 in holiday-thinned North American session before stabilising.
However, euro met renewed selling at 1.1316 and retreated again in Asian morning on usd's broad-based rebound.

Euro's retreat from yesterday's high at 1.1334 signals upmove from Friday's low at 1.1324 has made a temp. top, therefore choppy trading with mild downside bias would be seen.

There is a slew of eco. data from the euro region today but one must pay particular attention to release of Germany ZEW economic sentiment n current conditions at 10:00GMT.

Gold remains below $5,000 as US inflation report looms

Gold retreats from the vicinity of the $5,000 psychological mark, though sticks to its modest intraday gains in the European session.
