EUR/USD sits at 1.4300, very marginally easier from around 1.4325 where it closed out last week in North America.
The Asian session was pretty active with the EUR/USD pairing coming under fairly heavy pressure, not helped by decent selling of the JPY crosses. However Asian sovereign buying was reported around the 1.4258 session low, lending support.
