Flows, cross-currents, unwinding of stale positions…It’s all washing through the market today, making for a very challenging trading environment.
A clumsily-handled EUR/GBP order helped send EUR/USD higher and cable lower while firm US data help amplify the rise in US yields.

Bids are eyed in the 1.3420/30 area with small stops eyed in the 1.3415 area in EUR/USD.
