Twice during the US session prices have stalled ahead of the 1.3900 level. Reports have circulated that a US investment bank that was a major buyer at higher levels last week is offloading longs on strength today. They’ve also bought 1.3800, 1.3600 and 1.3400 puts, expiring tomorrow, next Tuesday and July 8, respectively. Looks like we could sit 1.3800/1.3900 for the balance of the day and potentially build a right shoulder on the daily charts in EUR/USD. A break of the neckline at 1.3800 would open the way to 1.3250, assuming we get a consolidation over the next few days around present levels. We trade now at 1.3873.

North Korea also in the news again
News that North Korea are threatening to enrich more uranium for use in nuclear weapons is adding to the geo-political risk aversion play. In days gone by, the USD and CHF were always the big winners when any political tensions came to the fore. If we return to those days, as the small moves this...
