As long as the euro holds gains above 1.4335/50, the upside will remain under pressure and extended gains should target 1.4620 and 1.4700 within the coming days. Intra-day sentiment is neutral at the time of this writing due to the weak market activity but large move are possible later today. Current exchange rate is 1.4402 @06:10 GMT
