EUR/USD up at 1.2535 from early 1.2495, having been as high as 1.2553. Middle Eastern sovereign buying noted early. The fledgling rally was slowed though by notable ACB and AAA-bank sales. Reserve bank of India was one ACB mentioned by name, while the AAA bank was once again thought to be selling on behalf of the SNB.
Cable up at 1.5565 from early 1.5545, having been as high as 1.5597 at one stage. Middle Eastern sovereign buying also notable in this paring. EUR/GBP marginally firmer at .8050 from early .8030, reflecting better euro tone.
USD/JPY comatose at 79.65, effectively unchanged on the day. There was some decent selling interest out of Hong Kong early, but it weas easily absorbed.
AUD/USD up at .9970 from early .9940. Reports of Bundesbank interest in aussie (see above) no doubt lent some underpinning
