After hitting a two-month high last Friday, the EUR/USD saw little movement in overnight trading and is currently trading at 1.2581, relatively unchanged from when markets opened for the week. The pair turned bullish on Friday, following a speech from Fed Chairman Bernanke in which he hinted that new steps to boost the US economy could begin in the near future. Poor Chinese and Australian economic indicators resulted in the AUD slipping to a fresh six-week low against the USD at 1.0238 last night.
