EUR: Some technical support in sight – ING

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

The two-year swap rate gap widened in favor of the Dollar, impacting the short-term fair value estimate for EUR/USD. Technical supports are identified near the 50-day moving average. Political stability in France is noted, but its impact on FX remains marginal, notes Francesco Pesole from ING.

Technical supports identified for EUR/USD

"The two-year swap rate gap rewidened in favour of the dollar yesterday, bringing our estimate for short-term EUR/USD fair value to 1.174. That is close to the 1.1724 50-day moving average, with the 100 and 200-day MA a bit lower at 1.1678 and 1.1615: those could be the main technical supports should the drop extend."

"Incidentally, the more EUR/USD retraces, the less likely we'll get any comments on the exchange rate at Thursday’s ECB policy meeting."

US JOLTs report in focus
