EUR/USD has opened marginally firmer after an uninspired overnight session in Asia, presently at 1.4890 from a North American close Tuesday around 1.4875.

Well, the protection of the lower parameter of the 1.48-1.5100 dnt (due for expiry Friday) proved as robust as had been expected, the EUR/USD sell-off yesterday bottoming out at 1.4809.

So far sell orders at 1.4890/00 have capped the rebound. Stops seen on move through 1.4905.

Euro zone data due today not too much to get excited about:

09:00 GMT: Euro zone current account for September

10:00 GMT: Euro zone construction output for September
