Stronger than median forecast +0.4%.

Does anyone care? I’d hazard a guess, not many.

It’s been a slow start to European trade. Something of a typical Monday.

EUR/USD touch firmer at 1.3457 from around 1.3445 when I parked by bum.

ACB buying noted sub 1.3440.

Talk of sell orders clustered 1.3480/00 ahead of 1.3500 barrier option interest.

Above 1.3500 we got 1.3510 as notable technical resistance (38.2% fibo retracement 1.4940-1.2626)
