Japanese Finance Minister Noda declines to comment on currency intervention.

Euro’s retracement stalls out

Posted: 11 Aug 2010 11:50 PM PDT

Eur/Usd has been slowly rebounding from its earlier low of 1.2829.  The pair seems to have run into some resistance at 1.2920. If Eur/Usd can break above this level look for a move to 1.2981 which is the 38.2% fibo retracement of move down from 1.3227. If remains below then a retest of 1.2829 is likely.
