EUR/USD - 1.0913

Euro's strong rebound from a fresh 1-month trough at 1.0819 on Wednesday due to optimism over Greek debt deal suggests a temporary low has been made and choppy trading with mild upside bias would be seen.

However, above 1.0959 (previous support, now resistance) needed to confirm this view and yield stronger retracement of decline from May's 3-month peak at 1.1467 towards 1.1008/10.

On the downside, below 1.0819 would extend aforesaid fall to retrace the entire rise from March's 12-year trough at 1.0457 towards 1.0740/50 but reckon 1.0700/10 would hold.

EUR/USD- ..... Euro rebounded from Wed's fresh 1-week low of 1.0819 in volatile trading in NY. Bloomberg initially reported progress was being made between Greece and its international creditors. More headlines and reports emerged later in NY afternoon session.

The latest news according to Reuters report which came out after NY close is Greece and its international creditors have converged on key points on a cash-for-reforms deal but talks still have some room to cover before an agreement is clinched, according to Greece's economy minister.

"Right now negotiations are continuing, ... there have been big points of convergence," George Stathakis told Mega TV's On Line show. "There is still room to cover in the negotiations."

Greece's leftist-led gov't said on Wednesday it is starting to draft an agreement with its euro zone partners and the IMF that would pave the way for aid, but European officials dismissed this as wishful thinking.

While German FinMin Wolfgang Schaeuble was surprised by the upbeat tone from some Greek gov't officials, he said there was not much progress in the debt talks.

Stathakis said Athens has no "plan B" despite recent threats by some ministers that the cash-strapped government may default on loan repayments to the IMF. "I think (reaching) a deal is a one-way street, otherwise we would be entering uncharted waters,".

Greece and its EU/IMF lenders have been locked in tortuous negotiations on a reforms agreement for four months without a breakthrough in sight. Without a deal, Athens risks default or bankruptcy in weeks.

Stathakis said there will be one complete agreement and no partial deals."The agreement will cover the set of measures for this year and 2016 and the way that the funding gap will be covered in combination with the debt issue," he said.

Asked how much funding Greece would need, Stathakis said: "If one leaves the debt as is, there may be a need for 30 bln euros, If the debt issue is tackled, the (funding) need may be 10 bln euros."

Thursdaywill see the release of Japan's retail sales, Australia's building CAPEX, Swiss industrial orders, U.K. Q1 GDP, eurozone business climate and consumer confidence, Canada's production prices, U.S. pending home sales.

USD/JPY - 123.63

Despite dollar's intra-day brief rally to a fresh 12-1/2-year peak at 124.29 in Asia, subsequent retreat suggests choppy trading with downside bias would be seen but only a daily close below 123.33 (previous resistance, now support) would indicate a temporary top has been made and yield retracement to 122.78.

On the upside, above 124.29 would extend long term uptrend from 2011 record low at 75.32 towards 124.66 and then 125.10/20 next week.

GBP/USD- ..... Although cable fell to a fresh 3-week trough at 1.5260 following the release of weaker-than-expected UK GDP data (2nd reading) in Europe on Thursday, the British pound rebounded in tandem with euro during the NY session and then climbed to 1.5343 in Asian morning on Friday.

Due to lack of important U.K. economic data today, the British pound is likely to follow intra-day swings in the euro. As investors have shrugged off the poor reading of Gfk consumer confidence for U.K. reported released earlier in Asia on Friday, buying the British pound on dips is recommended.

At present, bids from various accounts are reported at 1.5325/20, 1.5310/05 and then around 1.5300 with mixture of bids and stops at 1.5280-70.

On the upside, cross-related offers are tipped at 1.5345/50 and more at 1.5360-70 with release selling interest noted further out around 1.5400 .

Friday will see the release of New Zealand's building consents, U.K. GfK consumer confidence, Japan's CPI, household spending, unemployment rate, industrial production and IP forecast, Australia's HIA new home sales, Japan's construction orders, housing starts, Swiss GDP and KOF indicators, Canada's GDP and U.S. Chicago PMI.

USD/JPY - 123.75

Despite dollar's rally to a fresh 12-1/2-year peak at 124.49 on Thursday, subsequent retreat to 123.62 in New York and then 1-pip fall to 123.61 in Asia today suggests choppy trading with mild downside bias would be seen. However, only a daily close below 123.33 (previous resistance, now support) would indicate a temporary top has been made and yield retracement to 122.78 next week.

On the upside, above 124.46 would extend long term uptrend from 2011 record low at 75.32 to 124.66 but loss of momentum should cap price below 125.00 level today.
