EUR/USD looks to Italy, Brexit, data
Spot is hovering over the 1.1560 region on Monday, as market participants remain vigilant on Italian politics and the Brexit negotiations.
In fact, investors will closely follow the developments in the Italian political arena today, where the government will present its 2019 draft budget to the EU. In light of the recent back and forth on the issue, market consensus still expects EU officials to call for a revision of the budget, prolonging the uncertainty.
In the same line, headlines from the Brexit negotiations should keep driving the sentiment around the Sterling and the broader risk-associated complex.
Looking ahead, Retail Sales for the month of September and the NY Empire State index will be the salient events later today in the NA session.
