I don’t see a real reason for the move back except for a pause in Ukraine doom stories and as I’ve pointed out in the release post, the data is all over the place.

Cable is still clawing its way back up towards 1.6675 while the Euro is just doing the knitting or some such other thing.

USD/JPY is back in the range and looking to confirm another fake break.
