EUR/USD failed to break back through 1.3100 with a session high of 1.3096 pegged back by a cluster of offers which remain up to 1.3120.  Disappointing German IP data then led the pair lower  towards midday towards the zone of bids sitting down at 1.3040/60. Sells stops are in place on a break of 1.3040 EUR/JPY pushed up to day's highs of 114.79  on Japanese demand in both USD/JPY and the cross, but both later succumbing to  EUR/USD pressure despite initial firming stocks across Europe. USD/JPY  eased back from a day's high of 87.74 to 87.41 led by cross sales  to 114.09 . AUD/USD largely took a back seat snagged into a 1.0496-19 range.
