EURO-DOLLAR: Monday's break above the recent resistance area between $1.1245-55
provided added impetus to take the rate to an extended high of $1.1274 before it
settled between $1.1260-65 into the close. Early Asia squeezed rate back to
$1.1255 before it met fresh demand that allowed it to edge to an intraday high
of $1.1269 into Europe. Traders note that the $1.1245-65 area holds strikes
amounting to E4.73bn for today's NY cut, the $1.1270-75 area holding E1.09bn of
expiries. EUR/USD currently buoyed by a slightly better risk outlook but
expected to meet continued resistance in the $1.1270-75 area, a break though to
open potential toward $1.1320-30. Support remains between $1.1255/45. A light
data calendar for Tuesday with attnetion already switched on to Wednesday's ECB
rate announcement (no change widely expected) with main focus on ECB Draghi and
any details of TLTRO.
