Euro and pound bulls are hammered-Jun 15.

Euro was very soft against the USD as the market hammered the Euro on the subject of reserve status. As the second biggest currency any talk of moves away from the Dollar standard will help the single currency advance. Russia and Japan both talked up the USD .Looking ahead for Q1 Employment change Q/Q previously at -0.3%. Sterling weakened from the 1.6500 level as GBP/JPY ran out of steam. The Blackrock $6bn purchase of Barclay’s global investment unit has been supporting the pound in recent trading sessions. EUR/GBP tested 0.8500 but couldn’t press further.
