EURO-DOLLAR: *** Reported weak stops triggered on break of Y134.45 in Eur/Jpy

acted to weigh on Eur/Usd in early Asia, which with the added weight provided by

reaction to German Foreign Minister Gabriel warning that a minority government

the Tokyo open. US names were stand out sellers as rate broke below $1.1849,

thin conditions allowed reactive sell off to deepen to $1.1817 before demand

emerged. Election results in Catalonia were also cited by some as applying

downside weight. Rate recovered to $1.1852 ahead of Europe before correction

lifted on to $1.1859.
