EURO-DOLLAR: Reported earlier that Asian traders had suggested that the $1.1150

could hold decent demand, with others adding to this suggestion by trying to

link a certain Asian sovereign name to the suspected interest. No confirmation

for this seen or heard. However, rate was rejected from $1.1151 in late

Asia/early Europe, eventually climbing away to a high of $1.1175. Rate currently

trades around $1.1169. Resistance noted earlier between $1.1170/80 ahead of

$1.1200. Support remains in place toward $1.1150.
