EUR/USD - 1.1323

On the upside, only a daily above 1.1382 risks stronger retracement of recent downtrend but reckon 1.1434 should cap upside.

Data to be released on Wednesday:
Australia AIG manufacturing index, manufacturing PMI, GDP, New Zealand building permits, China caixin manufacturing PMI, Japan Jibun bank manufacturing PMI.
U.K. BRC shop price index, nationwide house price, Markit manufacturing PMI, Germany retail sales, Markit manufacturing PMI, Swiss CPI, manufacturing PMI, France Markit manufacturing PMI, Italy Markit manufacturing PMI, EU Markit manufacturing PMI.
