EUR/USD's been on gradual slide after hitting highs of 1.2749 early on in the session with trading subdued due to the Ascension holidays across Europe.
A mixed Spanish auction failed to excite with Spain having to pay up for 2015 and 2016 bonds but the target was just about achieved. Lack of any positive news in the Eurozone and little data to chew over has kept risk off the table and we've dropped back through 1.2700 to lows of 1.2690.
EUR/JPY sales pushed the pair back down through 102.00 from 102.35 to 101.84, with some large sell stops now looming down through 101.75.
GBP/USD has eased back down from 1.5920 through the 200 week MA around 1.5880 and looks to be heading to the 100 and 200 day MA sitting down at 1.5827.
Elsewhere USD/JPY drifted off from just shy of 80.40 on cross sales to 80.22. AUD/USD tracked the EUR/USD from 0.9963 to 0.9908
WTI Crude slipped around 90 cents to 92.70, with Gold shedding around $8 to $1546.
European equities are all in the red with falls of around 1.25% in the STOXX , but around 2% on the Italian and Spanish indices.
Bunds were squeezed higher with Italian 10 yr yields touching 6% again
All in all a thoroughly dull morning, so hopefully the US will liven things up a tad....
