EUR/USD appears a bit overstretched in the short term and could face a correction this week – ING

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

EUR/USD is trading at the highest levels since early 2022. Economists at ING analyze the pair’s outlook.

Rally looks a bit stretched

CFTC data showed that pre-CPI positioning on EUR/USD was already quite stretched on the long side (+19% of open interest). We also estimate there is currently a 2% short-term risk premium built into EUR/USD, based on our financial fair value model which includes rates and equity factors. This short-term overvaluation gap of EUR/USD could be closed either by a correction or by some EUR/USD-positive factors rising without triggering a climb in the pair.

We see some moderate risks of a correction in EUR/USD this week, possibly to the 1.1100/1.1150 area.

A continuation of last week’s rally may start to face increasing resistance at the 1.1300/1.1350 area.

EUR/USD trims gains, back below 1.1800

EUR/USD now loses some upside momentum, returning to the area below the 1.1800 support as the Greenback manages to regain some composure following the SCOTUS-led pullback earlier in the session.

GBP/USD off highs, recedes to the sub-1.3500 area

Following earlier highs north of 1.3500 the figure, GBP/USD now faces some renewed downside pressure, revisiting the 1.3490 zone as the US Dollar manages to regain some upside impulse in the latter part of the NA session on Friday.

Gold climbs to weekly tops, approaches $5,100/oz

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place at the end of the week, now hitting fresh weekly highs and retargeting the key $5,100 mark per troy ounce. The move higher in the yellow metal comes in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and modest losses in the US Dollar.
