Key Quotes
“Sharp reversal off a critical resistance zone hints that a high may be in place for now”.
“Fed
messaging in coming sessions likely to emphasise June is live and
global/financial risks have dissipated, a backdrop that EUR is unlikely
to sustain gains against”.
“EUR could pull back
to 1.14 coming days. But, given that the Fed is unlikely to ultimately
delver a June hike - not enough time to evaluate whether Q1 weakness is
entrenched and too close to the UK referendum vote - EUR should
eventually right itself”.
“Improving EUR data trends - 0.6% Q1
GDP, upward revisions to the final April PMI to 51.7 and the sharp rise
in the ZEW expectations survey - should also limit EUR downside”.
