Euro dumps as traders cover over the fix

Some lively moves in the euro, and USD

EURUSD now trading at 1.0971 and USDJPY up through 106 to a day's high of 106.39.

The fix has just been and gone and we can usually give it 5 mins either side to do its thing. There's chatter that there's some position covering too into the weekend and US bond traders are saying there's some hedging against any geopolitical weekend risk.

Lots going on in the world right now so who can blame them?
