We had a relatively quiet trading session in Asia although most pairs traded up and down on multiple occasions inside fairly tight ranges. Early profit taking on the JPY crosses took EUR/USD below 1.2900 briefly and trailing stops in the AUD/USD saw that pair slip to it’s intraday low at .6507.
The Swiss National Bank is expected to be on the bid at 1.5180 in EUR/CHF. Option barriers are expected at 1.3000 in EUR/USD with stops above. A close above the 100-day MA in the AUD/USD would be a significant bullish technical event.
Gold is steady around $924/oz, oil has slipped back below $46/bbl ahead of the OPEC meeting. The Shanghai index was up almost 0.5% and the Nikkei was up almost 5%.
