Forex Flash: Majors trade sideways as Eurozone debt appetite increases – Investec

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The market reaction to the headline news was muted to say the least with EUR/USD and GBP/USD lacking any meaningful direction.

According to the Investec Research Team, “A suitably strong bid to cover ratio and we should see the EUR strengthen as a result. The GBP/USD has been very much the same, looking for direction either side of 1.5250.”
