EUR/USD sits at 1.3695, marginally firmer from a North American close Monday up around 1.3670 with Asian trade confined to a narrow 1.3660-1.3699 range. Seems the market is becoming a little immune to the ongoing twists and turns surrounding a possible support package for Greece. Comment made by European Commission’s Juncker that loan guarantees will not be part of a Greek aid package seems to have been largely ignored, at least so far.
