From a technical picture we can argue the price action for the euro is constructive with the 200-day moving average holding with a reversal in price action although personally I’m sceptical around these levels following the rejection seen at 1.2960-1.2980 following the US jobs report last Friday.

JPMorgan’s Q3 results today will be a key event today as the group kicks off the reporting season for the financial sector. Given its scale and reach, JPM tends to set the tone for the rest of the bank earnings season and will have pointers for the US and European banks. We also have Wells Fargo’s results today. Both are scheduled to be released before the US market open.
