EUR/USD sits at 1.4920, markedly lower overnight, with heightened risk aversion to the fore. The situation surrounding Dubai debt issues continues to impact global financial markets, with Asian stockmarkets getting hit hard. Against this backdrop the yen and U.S. dollar are the big beneficiaries in the currency markets.

Euro zone data for today

European stockmarkets are set to open lower and could be in for a wild and wooly ride again, which leaves  EUR/USD vulnerable .

Initial technical support 1.4900/05, resistance at 1.4950.
