We’re up at 82.50, the pairing having been bolstered by Shirakawa’s earlier comments.
Talk of buy stops coming thick and fast. Through 82.55, 82.65 and also 82.75 ahead of well-documented 83.00 barrier interest.
UPDATE: Stops done through 82.55 and 82.65. We’ve been to 82.70. More through 82.75. Japanese bank buying (plural) notable in latest move. Talk it’s related to M&A deal.
