Hello All, following is some Euro 'gossip'.
From IFR Forex Watch SQUAWK BOX via fxcm:
" EUR/USD: ECB Says No Intervention Until 1.35- Mkt News Boston, December 17.
Market News International quotes an ECB source as saying that the CB has not discussed using intervention to halt the EUR rise and that intervention is not expected until near an all-time "synthetic" high around 1.35. The strong EUR could keep the ECB sidelined on interest rates until 2005. First steps against EUR/USD would be verbal, the source said. US officials have shown no interest in intervention, according to the report.
Quasi-official selling remains on rallies and if EUR/USD can"t make hay on this report, than consider it a clear sign that the rally is running out of steam. 1.2380 and 1.2400 barriers lie above the market. -- Jamie.Coleman@thomson . com/rs "
NB: Someone appears not to know the "... all-time "synthetic" high ..." is around 1.45. see chart #2 above: 'e 60 d nov 28.png'
