EUR/USD 1,4242

The FX market has just taken a breather on Tuesday, ignoring the strong rise in Nikkei, which is trading over 3.8% up; the trade has been pretty quiet, not paying that much of attention to the military action in Libya and despite the nuclear crisis in Japan seems to be easing.

Overall, the Greenback still looks vulnerable. EUR/USD hovers near a 4-month high, and has traded into a tight range between 1.4200 and 1.4230 in Asia, while GBP/USD has moved slightly to the downside ahead of the CPI data, currently trading a few pips below 1.6300.

USD/JPY is almost unchanged on the day, presently at 80.95 , while USD/CHF is quoting little lower at the 0.9020 zone, after opening around 0.9045.

The currencies linked to commodities remain firm against the US dollar. AUD/USD holds onto gains near its weekly highs at the 1.0060 zone, while the Kiwi has advanced about half of a cent, reaching a fresh 5-day peak at 0.7390.
