EURO-DOLLAR: Recovery off Tuesday's low of $1.1731 extended to $1.1793 before
momentum faded, the rate then dropped back to $1.1766 at the London fix before
extending the corrective pullback to $1.1761, settled around $1.1767 into the
close. Slow trade in Asia with focus on tonight's US FOMC rate announcement,
trade during the session contained within a $1.1756-70 range, holding above
$1.1760 in early European trade. Most expecting the Fed to hike rates again by
25bps with more focus on the accompanying comments, economic projections and
Chairman Powell's press conference to determine rate path outlook. Support seen
into that $1.1756 low, a break to expose $1.1740 with some tech traders seeing
room for a move down to $1.1715/10. Resistance seen between $1.1790/1.1800, a
break to expose recent high of $1.1815. Large amount of option expiries between
$1.1725-50 for today's NY cut totalling around E5.17bn, more between
$1.1695/1.1705 totalling E2.68bn.
