  • Expected demand emerged around $1.2000 in Wednesday trade, the rate touching a low of $1.1999 in late Europe morning business, retested early NY, before rate recovered through the 1600BST fix to $1.2039. Eased to $1.2027 post fix before closing the day at $1.2035.
  • EUR/USD extended the recovery to $1.2047 in Asia but said to have met decent headwinds ahead of $1.2050 from reported sovereign names.
  • Failure to break $1.2050 has seen rate drift off to $1.2031 ahead of the European open.
  • Support remains around $1.2000, suggestions interest could be option related, with technical support remaining at $1.1995(61.8% 1.1943-1.2080) ahead of $1.1975(76.4%).

  • MNI: Holding Fire For Now As PEPP Debate Simmers. This week's ECB meeting is widely expected to be a low-risk event. Competing views on the economic trajectory and the lifespan of PEPP are starting to emerge, which could come into sharper focus by the time of the June meeting.
  • US Weekly Claims 1230GMT, EZ Consumer Confidence 1400GMT, US Existing Home Sales, Leading Index 1400GMT
  • MNI Techs: EURUSD maintains a bullish theme although gains have stalled at 1.2080, Tuesday's high. In pattern terms, Tuesday's candle appears to be a gravestone doji and if correct is a bearish signal. A deeper sell-off would expose firm S/T support at 1.1943, Apr 19 low where a break would strengthen a bearish case. For bulls, a climb above Tuesday's high negates the pattern, resumes recent gains and opens the 1.2116-25 resistance zone.
