E/$.. am told sharp guy sold at $1.1388… CIBC HK mentioned decent sell interest between $1.1390/1.1410 in his note.. should we break got a near term tech target at $1.1428(1.618% swing $1.1290-1.1066) ahead of those Feb highs around $1.1450…Citi mention the large CTA short positions held in E/$ and see any further unwinding possibly fuelling a rise on to $1.1500….we shall see
AUD/USD: Big battle going on today with 1 local bank and 1 US bank buying in very large size whilst macro HFs have been selling almost equal amounts. Looks like we will have a big battle for supremacy either side of this .8125 level in coming sessions
