FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Euro (EUR) is likely to trade in a 1.0765/1.0820 range. In the longer run, EUR could pull back further; it does not appear to have enough momentum to break clearly below 1.0725, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

EUR is likely to trade in a 1.0765/1.0820 range

24-HOUR VIEW: "Yesterday, EUR traded within a 1.0774/1.0830 range, closing largely unchanged (-0.08%) at 1.0791. While the price action is likely part of a consolidation phase, the soft underlying tone suggests EUR is likely to trade in a lower range of 1.0765/1.0820 range today."

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "While the current pullback from last week’s high of 1.0954 has not stabilised, downward momentum is not strong. However, as long as EUR remains below 1.0860, EUR could pull back further toward 1.0725. Currently, it does not appear to have enough momentum to break clearly below this support level."

Next of note on the docket will be the US weekly Initial Jobless Claims.

GBP/USD reaches multi-day lows near 1.3500

GBP/USD reverses its initial upside momentum and is now adding to previous declines, approaching the 1.3500 region on Wednesday. Cable’s downtick comes on the back of decent gains in the Greenback and easing UK inflation figures, which seem to have reinforced the case for a BoE rate cut in March.

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.
