EUR/USD expected to retreat further – UOB

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

FX Strategists at UOB Group sees EUR/USD grinding lower in the next weeks.

Key Quotes

“We highlighted yesterday that “another leg lower towards the major support at 1.0495/00 would not be surprising”. EUR hit an overnight low of 1.0492 and with downward momentum improving quickly; further weakness is expected from here. The next support below 1.0490 is closer to 1.0450/55 even though this level could be out of reach, at least for today (minor support at 1.0475)”.

“EUR tested last week’s 1.0492 low yesterday but failed to break lower. However, the lack of a significant rebound coupled with improving downward momentum suggests that the immediate pressure is still on the downside. From here, a move to 1.0450/55 would not be surprising. Resistance is at 1.0560 but only a move back above 1.0590 would indicate that a short-term low is in place”.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
