Market News
The GBP/USD managed to pull itself above
1.6800 today (now hovering just under at the time of writing) following UK
employment data. Likely resistance is
seen at around 1.6830 (the highs for June 9th) with support at 1.6770 then
1.6735.
EUR/USD has extended its sideways slip as
traders look to Central Bank noises in the coming weeks. For any meaningful movement the ECB needs to
come out of the shadows of the Fed. A
dovish outlook by the ECB has still seen a firm Euro currency. Any weakness seen by the Fed could lead to
EUR/USD spiking upwards again.
USD/JPY has seen bulls take up the strain
just below the 102 level with a short term uptrend just about intact (although
daily channels have been breached). The
main drivers for JPY volatility has decreased and as a result range-bound
trading has led to a somewhat lethargic market.
