Hope and change? Lower energy prices? Firmer equities? hard to say exactly, but consumer sentiment improved a bit further in January, up to 61.9, its highest level since September (when the proverbial poop hit the fan).
US equities are off their earlier highs, helping prompt some profit-taking on EUR/JPY and the individual legs of the trade. EUR/USD is at 1.3278 from 1.3343 highs.
