US equities have opened on a firm note, up about 8 points, only 3 points below the 2009 just below 1018. Gonna be tough to keep a lid on EUR/USD in the early going, especially if Bernanke upgrades his outlook for the US economy when he speaks from Jackson Hole.
Existing home slaes is another data point for the market, seen rising to a 5 mln unit annual pace from 4.89 mln.
