EUR/USD: The global outlook points to be positive for the euro – Danske Bank

FXStreet Team FXStreet

While EUR/USD briefly went above 1.10 last week, the cross ended lower on the potential for a renewed US-China skirmish and EU hashing out its internal differences. Analysts at Danske Bank see the next developments to unfold in a positive way for the shared currency.

Today, the German IFO survey for May is due at 08:00 GMT.

Key quotes

“We think EUR/USD will continue to move at 1.09 +\- 2 figures, depending largely on global reflation trends.”

“We tend to see the tactical risk as being towards the upside in spot; especially as the EU is likely to reach a grant-friendly budget deal given both France and Germany are behind this, coronavirus keeps fading and global easing already done.”

EUR/USD faces the next support around 1.1600

EUR/USD comes under pressure and retreats for the fourth day in a row on Tuesday, coming closer to the key 1.1600 neighbourhood amid a decent rebound in the US Dollar ahead of the largely expected 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday.

GBP/USD remains offered below 1.3300

GBP/USD is coming under renewed pressure, surrendering its earlier gains and retreating toward the area below the key 1.3300 support, always on the back of the bid bias in the Greenback and despite earlier hawkish comments from BoE poliymakers.

Gold comfortable above $4,200

Gold is still holding a positive tone around the $4,200 zone per troy ounce on Tuesday, though it’s starting to lose a bit of steam as the US Dollar finds support from stronger-than-expected jobs data. Even so, markets remain confident the Fed will move ahead with a rate cut on Wednesday, which ultimately lends support to the yellow metal.
