The political yo-yo continued in Greece last night, as the EURUSD dipped below 1.3000 before rebounding strongly on the hope of a debt deal by Monday – sources are suggesting lenders have agreed where the required 325m EUR of savings are coming from.
A raft of good US data also helped give sentiment a lift, with weekly jobless claims falling below 350,000 for the first time since March 08.
Following the EURUSD lead, NZDUSD dropped into the mid 0.8200s before rebounding, currently around 0.8325.
