  • Much awaited US CPI Tuesday came in above forecast level, though market was geared for a strong show in March and therefore did little to knock risk appetite.
  • EUR/USD cleared through resistance in the $1.1920/27 area, as the USD came under general pressure, taking the rate to an initial high of $1.1943, advancing on to $1.1956 following a strong 10yr auction.
  • Asia took over the USD sell baton, took EUR/USD on to $1.1964(50-dma), and was holding firm into Europe.
  • Expect resistance between $1.1964/74(50-dma/55-dma, 50% $1.2243-1.1704) a break to expose the Mar18/11 highs at $1.1989/90 (with the top of the 1.0% 10-dma envelope close behind at $1.1991). Above here and $1.2000, then $1.2025/40 move into view.
  • Support $1.1947, $1.1925/20, $1.1905/1.1890, $1.1860.

  • MNI Techs: Extending recent recovery that started Mar 31. Yesterday's gains resulted in a break of the 50-day EMA, strengthening a short-term bullish case and paving the way for a climb towards 1.1990, Mar 11 high and a key near-term resistance. A break would open 1.2037, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, initial support is seen at 1.1861, Apr 7 and 8 low.
