Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
Update Time: 24 Feb 2020 04:30GMT
EUR/USD - 1.0828... The single currency opened lower on risk-aversion and dropped to 1.0811 in New Zealand after Friday's resumption of upmove from last week's near 3-year trough at 1.0778 to 1.0863. However, the pair found renewed buying there and rebounded to 1.0842 at Asian open before retreating again.
Despite euro's intra-day gap-down open to 1.0811, subsequent rebound suggests the pullback from Friday's high at 1.0863 is over and consolidation with upside bias remains for a re-test of said resistance, break would extend recent upmove to 1.0900/10.
However, offers at 1.0920/30 should cap current rise and yield retreat later.
