EURO-DOLLAR: EUR/JPY sales provided the weight to take EUR/USD through $1.0800

in Asia, the rate touching a low of $1.0785 before meeting decent support. Rate

recovered through the balance of the session, posting a fresh intraday high of

$1.0817 into Europe, so far remaining buoyed above the figure. Risk remains the

main driver through European mornings, switching to watching UST yields in the

US session.
