EURO-DOLLAR: Opposite move to what was seen Wednesday, where the USD shook off
earlier negative pressure (dropped back from a high of $1.1214 to $1.1183, today
we saw rate touch an extended low of $1.1174 (making a show below reported
support area between $1.1190/80) before it spiked to a pre fix high of $1.1251,
retracing 50% of the move to $1.1212 in post fix trade. Traders reported the
move up was accompanied by a volume spike (futures saw over 13,000 contracts
change hands inside five minutes, equivalent to E1.6bln), a break below the
50-dma in S&P 500 for the first time since Dec and a resulting squeeze on UST
yields. Today's moves have seen rate make shows outside of its recent trade
parameters, support/resistance levels of $1.1180/90 and $1.1220 but seen
settling back within. Resistance now seen at $1.1255/65 (50-dma/55-dma, May1
high), a break to expose $1.1300. Support $1.1200, $1.1192(76.4% $1.1174-1.1251)
ahead of $1.1174. Risk has been the key driver of trade in recent sessions as
market was pressed into aversion due to US Trump comments on the current Sino-US
trade talks. The Chinese delegation is in town for talks, any headlines from
this meeting to be watched.
