EUR/USD: Moving towards the 1.1025 support – UOB Group

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Room for EUR to retest the 1.1025 level; the chance of a sustained break below this level is not high at this time, UOB Group FX strategists Quek Ser Leang and Alvin Liew note.

EUR is set to retest the 1.1025 level

24-HOUR VIEW: “In NY trade last Friday, EUR traded choppily between 1.1064 and 1.1155, closing at 1.1083 (-0.24%). Despite the choppy price movements, the underlying tone seems to have softened somewhat. Today, EUR is expected to edge lower, possibly testing the 1.1055 level. Last week’s low of 1.1025 is unlikely to come into view. Resistance is at 1.1115 and 1.1135.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “EUR seems to be under mild downward pressure, and there is room for it to retest last week’s low of 1.1025. At this time, the chance of a sustained break below this level is not high. The mild downward pressure is intact provided that 1.1160 is not breached.”

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.
