The dollar fell half a cent versus the Euro on Friday as investors took profits on the U.S. currency's rally to two-month highs, and thin end-of-year trading conditions exacerbated market volatility. Worries about the health of the U.S. financial sector were reignited by a Wall Street Journal report that U.S. investment bank Merrill Lynch may get a capital infusion of up to $5 billion from Singapore state investor Temasek Holdings.

British Pound
 
The GBP/USD opened in Asia around 1.9835 after trading down to 1.9810 as the sell-off triggered by the release of the BOE interest rate decision continued into its third day. The pair managed to move above intraday resistance around $1.9845 and traded up to $1.9888 at one stage, mainly due to profit taking, but continued to trade in a $1.9825/88 range during the Asian session.

  
 

Support: 1.9830, 1.9750, 1.9700 
Resistance: 1.9950, 2.0050, 2.0100
