EUR/USD 1,4054

he European shared currency is surging across the board as the risk on environment continues to dominate the trade. The currency has been boosted heavily by comments from FinMin Noda pointing that the ECB may be stepping in too and intervene on the EUR/JPY cross.

Investors quickly rushed off jumping on the EUR/USD on the speclation, driving the pair from an early low at 1.3980 to new 2011 highs at 1.4080. “Next reported orders are some sell orders at 1.4100/10” said Sean Lee at ForexLive. EUR/JPY also skyrocketed on the news, currently above 115.00 from a bottom at 106.55 yesterday, almost a 1,000 pips recovery.

Meanwhile, the Dollar/Yen has also begun to re-accelerate its travel north breaking 81.50 key resistance area to currently trade at 81.80. “The numbers being bandied about at the moment are about 2 trillion Yen already this morning in intervention; that’s about 25 billion USD/JPY bought by my reckoning” explained Mr. Lee.
