EURO-DOLLAR: Market disappointed by US Trump's press briefing, after he had
promised to unveil very dramatic measures to mitigate consequences of the
COVID-19 spread, with economic steps to be major. Risk positions were pared,
sending USD/JPY lower, which in turn saw EUR/USD extend its recovery off late
Tuesday lows of $1.1275 to $1.1367 into Europe. Rate was knocked back from its
high as market reacted to the 50bp rate cut by the BOE, which knocked cable
lower, with EUR/USD dragged back by the move (EUR/GBP spiked to Gbp0.8848,
though holds below the topside of its 2.0% 10-dma envelope, currently trades
back at Gbp0.8815). EUR/USD traded down to $1.1337, holding just shy of its
$1.1332 38.2% retrace of the recovery from Tuesday's low to this morning's high.
Expect further demand to be seen into $1.1320 ahead of $1.1310/00. Resistance
$1.1390/1.1400.
