Currency Updates:
Optimism over an agreement between Greece and its Creditors gave financial markets a very strong boost overnight. The conclusion of the summit that was held yesterday was not conclusive, however some encouraging words were released from the participants of the negotiations.
EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF fell sharply in the Asian session as the market was in demand for US dollars. GBPUSD especially was the hardest hit as the low was 1.5765 down from 1.5930 last week. Next Support is at 1.5690.
EUR/USD had been looking heavy but accelerated to the downside soon after with plenty of stops as EUR longs closed out perhaps in response to the better tone coming from Brussels. Next supports are 1.1150 and then 1.1050 area.
AUDUSD was also hit by USD strength however, was relatively stable compared to the other majors. Support for AUDUSD is 0.76 and 0.7530 year to date lows.
Looking ahead, PMIs from Eurozone will be the main focus in the European session while UK will release CBI trends total orders. US will release durable goods orders, house price index and new home sales.
