The euro came into the session at 1.3160 and that is where we will end. The early part of the session saw a run up that fell just short of 1.32 as euro shorts in pairs like EUR/AUD were squeezed. Barriers at 1.32 and concerns about the Greek bailout sparked a move lower and it was all sideways from there.
USD/JPY was a steady gainer, rising to 79.49 from 79.30. Barriers at 79.50 blocked a further rise and 79.52 is the post-intervention high.
The afformentioned squeeze in EUR/AUD pulled the Aussie lower elsewhere, including AUD/USD. Stops at 1.0745 gave way in US trading and the pair briefly traded below 1.07 before a late bounce.
