EUR/USD to suffer a substantial drop to 1.1020/00 – Credit Suisse

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

EUR/USD weakness has accelerated sharply over the past week, breaking key support at 1.1495/93. Next notable support is also seen nearby at 1.1310/1.1290, where economists at Credit Suisse expect a temporary pause. However, they expect to see further weakness towards 1.1020/00.

Resistance moves to 1.1513 initially

“EUR/USD is falling sharply again and has broken with ease below its next key support and our first objective at the March 2020 high and 50% retracement of the 2020/2021 uptrend at 1.1495/93. This already leaves the market on the cusp of our next key support/objective of the 61.8% retracement and Fibonacci projection support at 1.1310/1.1290.”

“Our bias remains for 1.1290 to hold at first for a phase of consolidation, but with a major ‘head and shoulders’ top in place, we continue to look for an eventual break in due course and a fall to 1.1020/00.”

“Resistance moves to 1.1513 initially, with 1.0609/18 now ideally capping.”

Gold: The $4,000 mark holds the downside for now

Gold adds to Friday’s pullback, although it remains well underpinned by the key $4,000 threshold per troy ounce on Monday.

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
