EUR soft despite fresh highs – Scotiabank
|The Euro (EUR) is down a modest 0.3% as it fades a slight portion of Friday’s gains, Scotiabank's Chief FX Strategists Shaun Osborne and Eric Theoret report.
Yield spreads offers fundamental support
"The outlook for relative central bank policy remains supportive and yield spreads are hitting fresh highs, providing a fundamental underpinning to the EUR’s latest gains. In terms of data, Germany’s IFO business climate sentiment figures were mixed, however the highlight will be Germany’s preliminary August CPI scheduled for Friday."
"Friday’s price action was notable in that the EUR delivered a bullish outside reversal with a clear break back above its 50 day MA . Momentum remains neutral however, with an RSI near 50, and descending resistance has been observed. We look to a near-term range of 1.1650 (support) and 1.1750 (resistance)."
