28 May 2013
With our homies in the U.K. and U.S. celebrating bank holidays, euro price action was extremely limited. After an entire day of trading, EUR/USD finished unchanged at 1.2934, while EUR/JPY ended just 26 pips lower at 130.72.
The truth of the matter is, the euro didn't really have much of a reason to move yesterday. There was no breaking news, no economic reports from the euro zone -- no nothing! And judging by the economic calendar, we may get more of the same today because the euro zone won't be making any new releases once again.
However, y'all should keep in mind that U.K. and U.S. traders will be returning from a three-day weekend today. We could see higher volatility as the London and New York sessions open as traders re-establish their positions. Be careful out there, folks!
