EUR/USD: New and lower trading range – TDS

FXStreet Team FXStreet

Investors want to build precautionary buffers in addition to their immediate needs. This keeps downward pressure on EUR/USD for the foreseeable future, in the opinion of strategists at TD Securities.

Key quotes

“The outlook for EUR/USD can pivot quickly. EUR has seen its share of volatility in recent days. Compared to other G10 currencies, however, it has been rather well-behaved.”

“Spot has now pushed below the 20 February lows at 1.0778. If sustained, this is the clear break lower we have been looking for.”

“Given the high degree of intraday volatility, we would like to see a weekly close below 1.0770 before drawing too many conclusions.”

“We do suspect, however, we are transitioning into a new, lower trading range. Our immediate focus now shifts to a test of 1.0570, although we note the early-2017 lows at 1.0341 could also come into view.”

EUR/USD holds lower ground near 1.1850 ahead of EU/ US data

GBP/USD keeps losses around 1.3600, awaits US CPI for fresh impetus

GBP/USD holds moderate losses at around 1.3600 in the European session on Friday, though it lacks bearish conviction. The US Dollar remains supported amid softer risk tone and ahead of the US consumer inflation figures due later in the NA session on Friday.

Gold trims intraday gains to $5,000 as US inflation data loom

Gold retreats from the vicinity of the $5,000 psychological mark, though sticks to its modest intraday gains heading into the European session. Traders now look forward to the release of the US consumer inflation figures for more cues about the Fed policy path. The outlook will play a key role in influencing the near-term US Dollar price dynamics and provide some meaningful impetus to the non-yielding bullion.
