Pretty much a non-event in the US today. EUR/USD and GBP/USD recovered ground lost overnight on the Monti announcement but stalled early in the day. EUR/USD continues to respect the 1.2880/1.2950 consolidation range it has been in since late Friday.
USD/JPY perked up in its range as sources told the wires that the BOJ will ease slightly at next week's policy meeting, adding another JPY 5-10 trln to its QE program. 82.435 was the rebound high and we spent the balance of the session within 10-pips.
Short-covering in EUR/AUD kept AUD/USD under wraps for much of the U session. We dipped a slow as 1.0481 before stabilizing.
