Amid talk of Asian central bank buying. We’re at 1.4290. Protection of 1.4300 barrier option interest next hurdle for euro bulls.

Below some estimates of Asian regional interventions overnight:

Singapore bought around $1.2 bln

Malaysia bought around $700 mln

Korea bought around $500 mln

Philippines bought around $200 mln

Indonesia bought around $100 mln.

Obviously some percentage of those dollars end up being diversified into euros.
