EURO-DOLLAR: Stretched on to $1.1185 Monday as EUR carry play unwinds continued
on expected coordinated policy action to counter effects of the COVID-19 virus
spread. Rate eased to $1.1124 before closing the day at $1.1133. Rate nudged to
$1.1148 in early Asia before it dipped to $1.1120, seen in reaction to the RBA
25bp cut, but quickly met interested buyers into the dip which helped it to edge
back to $1.1156. A RTRS source noted that the G-7 draft communique doesn't call
for increased fiscal stimulus, nor coordinated monetary easing, disappointed
markets, dented the equity markets' recovery and put market into a mild risk off
mode. COVID-19 effects continue to be the main market driver but attention this
morning will be on the release of flash EZ CPI data at 1000GMT, market median
0.2%mm, 1.2%yy, core 1.2%yy. EZ PPI and Employment data released at same time. 
- ECB Guindos(dovish) speaks at 0800GMT, ECB Holzmann(hawkish) at 1000GMT. ECB
Schnabel at 1330GMT, de Cos(dovish) at 1700GMT.
- Support $1.1120, $1.1100, $1.1060/50. Resistance $1.1156, $1.1185, $1.1200.
