EUR/USD: A modest bid is developing around 1.0825/30 – Scotiabank
Soft and softer than expected preliminary Eurozone PMI data for July weighed on the Euro (EUR) earlier. EUR losses may be steadying ahead of a mass of support in the low 1.08s, Scotiabank’s chief FX strategist Shaun Osborne notes.
A modest bid for the EUR is developing around 1.0825/30
“Soft and softer than expected preliminary Eurozone PMI data for July weighed on the EUR earlier. France’s Services sector improved, rising above 50 to 50.7 but German data was soft, with Manufacturing easing back to 42.6. The Eurozone Composite index fell to 50.1 versus 50.9 in June and 50.9 forecast, casting some doubt over the momentum behind the recovery.”
“EUR losses may be steadying ahead of a mass of support in the low 1.08s. Intraday price patterns suggest a modest bid for the EUR is developing around 1.0825/30. The daily chart suggests a potential bull “hammer” pattern might form today (although there is a lot of ground to cover over the balance of the session).”
“Minor resistance sits at 1.0860/70. A move back above 1.0910 would be bullish.”
