Well I arrived at my desk fearing a Black Friday and in the end what we got was a damp squib.
EUR/USD sits at 1.3210, up a mere 10 pips from what greeted me. We saw a few dips below 1.3200 but important technical support at 1.3180 remains intact. Unsurprisingly, talk of sell stops through 1.3180, 1.3170 and more through 1.3150.
USD/JPY up very marginally at 84.10 from early 83.95. Talk that Japanese importers still have some buying to be done before year end. With this in mind talk of buy orders clustered down at 83.50/70. On the flip side, talk sell stops gathering down at 83.30/40.
Cable effectively unchanged at 1.6245.
