EUR/USD: To trade in a sideways range of 1.0950/1.1000 – UOB Group

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

The Euro (EUR) is likely to trade in a sideways range of 1.0950/1.1000. In the longer run, further EUR weakness appears likely; the next two support levels to monitor are 1.0935 and 1.0900, UOB Group Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

Next two support levels to monitor are 1.0935 and 1.0900

24-HOUR VIEW: “Yesterday, we expected EUR to ‘continue to trade sideways, expected to be in a 1.0950/1.1000 range.’ Our view of sideways trading was not wrong, even though EUR traded in a narrower range between 1.0960 and 1.0996. EUR closed largely unchanged at 1.0980 (+0.05%). Momentum indicators are most flat, and we continue to expect EUR to trade in a sideways range of 1.0950/1.1000.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “Our update from two days ago (07 Oct, spot at 1.0970) still stands. As highlighted, after the sharp drop last Friday, further EUR weakness appears likely. The next two support levels to monitor are 1.0935 and 1.0900. Should EUR break above 1.1045 (no change in ‘strong resistance’ level from yesterday), it would mean that the EUR weakness a week ago has ended.”

EUR/USD bounces off lows near 1.1600

EUR/USD no gathers some steam and bounces off daily lows near the 1.1600 region. The pair’s daily pullback comes on the back of the firmer tone in the US Dollar amid rising Treasury yields and better-then-expected US data releases from the job market.

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.
