As reports of a European Commision statement/announcement circulated,  so that well known US investment bank came in scooping up the pairing and we quickly got to 1.3660. Despite the announcement offering nothing startling we still managed to trip stops through 1.3670 and get to session high  1.3689. ACB was reported notable seller into this latest leg higher and we've subsequently drifted little lower. Talk of macro funds lying in wait up at 1.3700/10. Cable up at 1.5665 from early 1.5625, the improvement coming as early risk aversion abated.  EUR/GBP up at .8715 from early .8680.  UK clearer notable buyer of the cross this morning.  Also mutterings that  Bundesbank was in buying as well.  Doing its' month-end shopping early, maybe?.......possibly? USD/JPY touch lower at 76.40 from early 76.55, but still ensconsed in well-trodden narrow range.  Sell orders clustered 76.90/00, buy stops just above there.  Buy orders seen clustered around 76.25 and then more 76.10 down to 75.95.  Guess if you're gonna buy, might as well be just ahead of the historic low. AUD/USD up at .9930 from early .9870, in line with general improvement in risk appetite.
