EURO-DOLLAR: Recovery off Monday's corrective pullback extension low of $1.2337
touched $1.2390 in NY ahead of its close. Rate touched a high of $1.2388 in
Asia, off an early low of $1.2368, but the further rise in UST yields provided
another boost for the Usd which pressed rate down to $1.2360. Usd/Jpy led the
Usd move, though Eur/Jpy was also dragged higher which in turn lifted Eur-Usd
back to $1.2387. As Eur/Jpy turned lower so Eur/Usd squeezed through $1.2360 to
$1.2352 into early Europe. Asia traders have reported demand back in place from
around $1.2350, with interest suggested dotted down toward $1.2300. Though
pressured lower the Eur continues to show signs its a reluctant
slippage/correction. Traders note the approach on month end Wednesday and model
suggestions that fixes will see Usd sales. Also of note we have Trump's State of
the Union Address later today, EZ Flash CPI Wednesday ahead of Yellen's last
FOMC(no change widely expected though pointers toward a March hike in focus). US
Employment Report Friday with AHE seen taking prominence over NFP.
