FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The Euro still looks heavy” said Koji Fukaya, director of global foreign exchange at Credit Suisse Securities in Tokyo. “If we see a further drop in commodities, the euro could make a try to $1.40", adding that "some investors seem interested in buying the Euro at levels around $1.40” the analyst said. Additionally, the 1.39-1.40 region is regarded as a significant area for the euro, since there has been talks of sizeable stop losses offers around the level, plus a series of support levels are clustered there, including the 100DMA.
