EURO-DOLLAR: Sharp recovery Tuesday off intraday lows of $1.1653 prompted by
reaction to a wire source report suggesting the Jun14 ECB meeting will be 'live'
to debate an exit from QE. Talk emerging that if this proves to be the case
Draghi could signal at the press conference an announcement to be made at the
July meet. Rate spiked to a high of $1.1732, dipped back to $1.1709 before
closing the day at $1.1709. This late recovery continued into Asia as rate
extended move to an eventual high of $1.1735. Pullback ahead of Europe saw it
back at $1.1714 but underlying tone remained buoyant. Rate currently trades
around $1.1728 at writing. Risk appetite was given a boost in Asia by the
USD/CAD reaction to reported Mnuchin comments on US/Canada tariffs along with
AUD/USD lifted by Australian GDP. Initial resistance remains at the Asian high
of $1.1735 ahead of the Jun4 high of $1.1745. Asian traders suggested resistance
between $1.1745/55, adding that a move above this area could accelerate upside
momentum. Support $1.1713/09 ahead of $1.1695/85. Decent sized option expiries
for today's NY cut noted with strikes at $1.1750-60(E1.06bn), $1.1800(E1.79bn)
and $1.1825(E1.41bn). Speeches from ECB's Praet, Knot & Hakkarainen due.
