EURO-DOLLAR: Rate finds decent support at $1.1280, the level holding the base
twice during the day. EUR/USD saw a high in early Europe of $1.1314 before it
dropped to $1.1280 in reaction to Reuters reports that several ECB policymakers
doubt the projected growth rebound, according to sources. The report adds that
several members of the ECB even question the accuracy of the forecasting models
themselves. Recovery to $1.1312 was seen as market bounced the rate back on a
Bloomberg report that said ECB officials  lack enthusiasm for sub-zero tiering.
However, the recovery struggled to hold gains in early NY with rate slipping
back to $1.1289 through the 1600BST fix before retesting $1.1280. Rate currently
trades around $1.1288 after the European close.  A break of $1.1280 to expose
$1.1250. Resistance remains at $1.1321-31.
