EURO-DOLLAR: Squeezed to a low of $1.1103 Thursday before it recovered to
$1.1135 into the close then received a strong boost as early UK Exit polls
predicted a strong Conservative win, along with US Trump reportedly signing off
Phase-One trade deal with China, and thus provided a strong signal for risk on
as Dec15 trade tariff hikes averted. EUR/USD spiked to $1.1199 before momentum
faded and it eased to $1.1168. Partial recovery to $1.1182 before rate drifted
lower through the balance of the session, breaking to a new low of $1.1163 in
early Europe. Support seen into Thursday's high of $1.1154 ahead of $1.1100.
Resistance remains into $1.1200, a break of $1.1210 to expose $1.1250 and
$1.1280/85.

$1.1200(E612mln).
