| Posted: Presently at 1.3750. Hedge fund seen notable buyer down around 1.3735. I'm quite excited (well about as excited as I get these days) to see how the 1.3700-1.3760 theory works out. Well for how long really, cos it's only a matter of time before it goes down the toilet. |

| Posted: That various Asian central banks are presently playing a 1.3700-1.3760 trading range. From what we've heard this morning, that seems like a fairly decent theory. Certainly better than some of the old cobblers I've heard over the years. ACB came in buying in 1.3705/10 area and we're back up at 1.3725. Ofcourse the theory will ... |

US treasury yields are a little firmer this morning, which will be lending the pairing some much-needed support. Talk of stops through 81.75 and 81.70 (take your pick) before buy orders clustered at 81.50. More stops below there. On topside, sell orders ... |
