EUR/USD firm around 1.1990 post-ZEW
|The buying interest stays firm around the European currency following the release of the German ZEW survey, with EUR/USD hovering over the 1.1990 area.
EUR/USD bid on upbeat ZEW
Spot remains in the upper end of the daily range after the German ZEW survey surprised to the upside for the current month. In fact, both current conditions and economic sentiment rose to 87.9 and 17.0, respectively.
On the not-so-bright side, the economic sentiment in the euro area disappointed estimates for the same period, coming in at 31.7 vs. 32.4 forecasted. The reading, however, represent an improvement from the August print.
Earlier in the session, EMU’s current account rose to a seasonally adjusted €25.1 billion in July, surpassing both prior surveys and the previous reading.
In the meantime, the pair’s upside stays well underpinned by the continuation of the selling bias around the greenback, which continues to navigate the area of daily lows when tracked by the US Dollar Index (DXY).
