The European currency alternates gains with losses on Tuesday and is now taking EUR/USD to the 1.1580 region ahead of key data in Euroland.
EUR/USD looks to ZEW, Italy
The pair is looking for direction in the first half of the week, always below the 1.1600 handle for the time being and vigilant on the Italian political scenario and the broad risk appetite trends.
In fact, risk-off mood re-emerged as of late involving the US, Saudi Arabia and Turkey following the death of J.Khashoggi, journalist at the Washington Post, in Turkey over the weekend.
In addition, Italy submitted its 2019 draft budget to the EU on Monday and it is expected that discussions around the subject continue throughout the week.
Looking ahead, the German/EMU ZEW survey is next of relevance in the euro area, whereas Industrial Production, Manufacturing Production, JOLTs Job Openings and TIC Flows are next in the US calendar.
