Mid-Day Report: Euro Rallies on EU Draft Document Regarding EFSF to Provide Longer Maturities and Lower Lending Rates to Greece

The single currency went through a roller-coaster session in Europe, despite retreating sharply to an intra-day low against dollar at 1.4139 on comments from Eurogroup's Juncker who said a Greek default may be unavoidable but everything should be done in order to avoid such a possibility and he hopes to provide summit details later today, euro then rallied from there on news of an EMU draft document saying that the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF, the eurozone bailout fund) will extend loans to Greece, Ireland and Portugal from 7.5 years to at least 15 years and lending rates will be lowered from currently around 4.5 percent to equivalent to those of the balance of payments facility (now approx. 3.5%) for Greece and Portugal.

EUR/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.4152; (P) 1.4196 (R1) 1.4258; More.

EUR/USD jumps further to as high as 1.4396 in early US session and intraday bias remains on the upside for 1.4577 key near term resistance next. Decisive break of 1.4577 will indicate that the whole correction pattern from 1.4939 has completed with three waves down to 1.3837. In such case, the medium term rally should be resuming for 1.5 and above. On the downside, below 1.4014 will bring another fall. But after all, we'd expect strong support from medium term trend line (now at 1.3783) to contain downside to finish the corr3ection from 1.4939.
