EUR remains low amidst debt ceiling discussions: Technical analysis and market outlook

The EUR remains at a low level, with the most traded currency pair in the market staying near 1.0730 on Monday.

Investors continue to focus on the issue of raising the US public debt limit. There are discussions underway between Congress and the White House regarding a framework agreement on increasing the debt ceiling.

It is expected that Republicans will agree to raise the borrowing limits by 4 trillion USD over two years if the Democrats allow for restrictions on non-defense spending in 2024.

As it is a public holiday in the US on Monday, official news is anticipated in the coming days. This week, the country will release important statistics, including labor market indicators for May.
