Mid-Day Forex Technical Report - Dollar Recovers Mildly in Quiet Market by ActionForex.com
EUR/USD edged higher to 1.363 earlier but upside momentum continues to diminish. As discussed before, bearish divergence condition in 4 hours MACD and RSI suggests a short term top should be around the corner. But a break of 1.3558 support is needed to confirm and bring further pull back to 4 hours 55 EMA (now at 1.3524).

Friday Notes - Soaring Euro will not stop the ECB by HVB Group

In addition, the US stock market has been rallying. But housing market problems will keep consumers cautious. Thus, an unchanged reading is most likely.

Canadian retail sales bounced back in February thanks to more expensive prices for gasoline and vegetables, which offset the weak sales of new cars, according to the Canadian Statistics Office. Retail sales grew 0.1% on the month to a seasonally adjusted C$33.32 billion (US$29.50 billion), to follow a downwardly revised 0.4% decrease in January.
