EUR/USD last deals at $1.1365,..........>

EURO-DOLLAR: EUR/USD last deals at $1.1365, virtually unchanged on the day,

after it advanced almost 80 pips yesterday hitting this week's high, as the

greenback took a heavy blow from Fed Chair Powell's comments suggesting the

interest rate is already close to neutral. 

- Otherwise, the rate followed a flat but downside path before and after the

aforementioned jump Wednesday. 

- Initial resistance is located at the Nov 26 high of $1.1384 and a break above

would open up the Nov 23 high at $1.1421. Meanwhile, bears need a fall through

the psychological $1.1300 level before targeting yesterday's low at $1.1267. 

- EZ focus turns to EZ cons. conf. due later today, while member states are set

to release their GDP & inflation figures with French GDP and German CPI also due

today. Elsewhere, ECB will publish its stress test today & there is much central

bank rhetoric scheduled for the remainder of the week.
