EURO-DOLLAR
EURO-DOLLAR: EURUSD traded around neutral levels for most of the session last
dealing just shy of 1.1745.
- Hourly resistance is noted between 1.1170-80, while support comes in at the
June 08 low/May 31 high (1.1727/25), followed by the Jun 06 low/hourly base from
Jun 05 (1.1713/08).
- Nearby FX option expiries of note at today's 10AM NY cut: $1.1675-80(E900mln),
$1.1700(E2.05bn), $1.1705(E1.31bn), $1.1720-25(E1.32bn).
- The immediate risk event is of course the Fed's MonPol decision. With a hike
baked in focus will fall on the press conference/economic projections.
- On Thursday it will be the turn of the ECB to issue its latest MonPol
decision. Interest has peaked after some source reports and comments from ECB
governing council members suggested that the decision could be "live" i.e. the
meeting could indicate when the ECB plans to bring its QE programme to an end.
On Jun 01 MNI`s Policy team cited Eurosystem sources noting that a June
decision/statement on QE end-date was not expected. While our ears remain to the
ground, we have heard nothing since then to think that has changed.
