Currencies start to show gains
After a mundane European session some life has been injected into the market. Amongst others, it looks like Lagardes less than flammable comments are being taken as a positive sign of things to come from the G20.
USD/JPY options at 98.00 drew the market down and now the expiry is done we’re posting gains up at 98.30. Offers at 98.50 we’re stalling moves earlier but a re-test cannot be ruled out if momentum continues.
The other Yen pairs are following with GBP/JPY coming off the session lows at 149.50 posting to 150.42. EUR/JPY likewise up from 127.50’s to 128.67. We have the H4 55 ma at 128.85 which has been capping moves for a day or so.
EUR/USD is another pushing session highs but running into offers previously noted at 1.3080 with plenty more at 1.3100
