FOREX
  • General dollar strength ahead of and following the WMR fix sees EURUSD dip back below the 1.05 handle in recent trade, printing fresh cycle lows in the process.
  • EUR futures volumes surged following the passage of the WMR fix - over 7k contracts traded inside 10 minutes for a cash equivalent of just over $1bln.
  • Both Spain and VW headlines may be assisting the downtick, and further weakness would put the immediate focus on both 1.0484, a Fibonacci projection and the 2023 lows at 1.0448, a key support.
