EURO-DOLLAR: Rate was driven to a post fix high of $1.1223  Friday before it

eased off to $1.1200 into the week's close. Rate marked an early Asia low of

$1.1193 before it slowly clawed its way higher through the balance of the

overnight session, edging to $1.1210 where it met resistance ahead of Europe.

Opening Europe lifted it to $1.1211, momentum not too convincing so far though

rate holds firm at writing. A break of $1.1212 to open a move on toward Friday's

high of $1.1223 ahead of $1.1230/35. Support remains back at $1.1200/1.1190,

stronger into $1.1180.
