EUR/USD tumbles below 1.12, Deutsche Bank weighs
|The selling pressure around the common currency is now picking up further pace, dragging EUR/USD well below the 1.1200 handle to test fresh session lows.
EUR/USD weaker on DB slump
Spot met a wave of selling pressure today after stocks from Deutsche Bank have plummeted further into the negative territory, so far losing around 8% after a brief test of record lows around 9.90.
The pair now seems to be paying more attention to the developments around the German benchmark lender, which is retreating for the third consecutive week from September’s tops around 14.00 per share.
Next of relevance in the data space, EMU’s advanced inflation figures are expected to show consumer prices have risen at an annualized 0.4% during September, while Core prices are also seen higher, up 0.9% over the last twelve months.
EUR/USD levels to watch
The pair is now losing 0.30% at 1.1185 facing the immediate support at 1.1161 (200-day sma) followed by 1.1127 (2014-2016 support line) and then 1.1043 (low Aug.5). On the flip side, a break above 1.1271 (resistance line off 2016 high) would target 1.1279 (high Sep.26) en route to 1.1329 (high Sep.8).
