EUR/USD Firmer, Challenges 1.1300
A negative open of equity markets in the Old Continent is somewhat propping up the now bid tone in EUR/USD, which managed to regain the 1.13 neighbourhood.
EUR/USD attention to risk, Fedspeak
Despite
the ongoing correction higher, spot remains under pressure against the
backdrop of volatile sentiment following the ‘no deal’ scenario at the
Doha meeting, although a more convincing break above 1.1300 the figure
could need a strong catalyst.
Ahead in the session, no events are
scheduled in Euroland, whereas the NAHB index and speeches by FOMC
members Dudley and Kashkari will surely keep investors entertained.
EUR/USD levels to watch
The
pair is now up 0.13% at 1.1301 and a break above 1.1313 (20-day sma)
would aim for 1.1454 (2016 high Apr.7) and then 1.1496 (monthly high
Oct.15 2015). On the flip side, the initial support aligns at 1.1219
(38.2% Fibo of 1.0820-1.1455) followed by 1.1186 (55-day sma) and
finally 1.1142 (low Mar.24).
