Euro rebound from 10-day lows at 120.25 area earlier today has lost steam on the vicinity of 122.00 and the pair has pulled back again, with risk appetite faltering on Friday’s US trading session, returning to the mid-range of 120.00. The pair is looking heavy again approaching the upward trending support line from early May lows, now around 120.30

A daily close below the mentioned trendline might increase negative pressure on the euro, and set the pair aiming to the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the May-June rally before testing early May highs at 119.00.

On the upside, immediate resistance lies at 121.80 (intra-day high) above here, 122.50.60 (Jun 9 high, Intra-day high) before June highs at 124.40.

EUR/USD stays well offered below 1.1800

The selling pressure on EUR/USD is picking up pace, with the pair slipping decisively below the key 1.1800 level and sliding to fresh two week lows as Wednesday’s session draws to a close. The move lower comes as the US Dollar finds renewed strength after the latest round of US data and the release of the FOMC Minutes. Next of note on the docket will be the US weekly Initial Jobless Claims.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.
