EUR/USD: Set to test resistance at 1.0950 – Scotiabank

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Germany’s ZEW Investor Expectations Survey fell to 19.2 in August, weaker than expected and well down from July’s 41.8 read, Scotiabank’s chief FX strategist Shaun Osborne notes.

Bulls strive to break above 1.0950

“The survey was conducted through the recent market volatility, so a weak number is not too surprising. EUR/USD was edging lower ahead of the data and hit the intraday low in the low 1.09s around the ZEW release before steadying. The Euro (EUR) remains well-supported on dips and more range trading appears likely for now.”

“Spot is holding a trading range bound by support at 1.0875 and resistance at 1.0950. Trend momentum is neutral on the intraday chart but the EUR retains a positive undertone on the longer run studies, keeping direction risks tilted towards renewed gains—eventually.”
