Up, down, up , down. The very poor Italian business confidence data seems to have helped take the wind out of the single currency’s sails for the time being. From session high 1.3638 we’re back down at 1.3610. Real money is reportedly selling into the latest rally.

Why did I open my big fat gob. EUR/USD has suddenly sprung into life, back above 1.3600, presently at 1.3620. Barroso’s comments seemed to have helped. Risk isn’t quite as off as it was, go figure. Talk of sell orders clustered now up at 1.3650/70. I’d hazard a guess buy stops parked just above there.
