recovered to $1.2491. Rate the eased off to $1.2449 ahead of its $1.2457 close.
Weekend reports that Germany's Merkel had failed to conclude coalition
negotiations with the SPD(talks to reconvene today), along with France Macron's
party losing 2-seats(first electoral test since coming to power in June - still
controls 309 seats in 577 seat National Assembly) acted to press Eur/Usd back to
$1.2425 in early Asia before general Usd sales allowed rate to edge up to
$1.2466. Corrective pullbacks were buoyed above $1.2450 ahead of Europe but rate
has since made a show below in early trade, touched $1.2447, currently around
$1.2451. Despite the data boost the Eur continues to trade with an underlying
buoyant tone.
