EUR/USD supported near 1.2480
FXStreet (Edinburgh) -The decline in the EUR/USD seems to have found interim support around 1.2480 on Wednesday.
EUR/USD depressed by data, USD
Poor results from services PMIs in the region plus a less auspicious readings from September’s Retail Sales in Euroland added further selling interest to the EUR, already hammered by the upbeat tone from the US dollar. Spot remains vulnerable ahead of the US data releases due later: ADP report, ISM Non manufacturing and speeches by Fed’s Lacker and Rosengren. In light of the ECB meeting on Thursday, analysts at Danske Bank suggested “We believe Draghi will be less defensive and will thus be interpreted as more dovish, although the ECB is still waiting for the economic impact of the measures announced in June and September”.
EUR/USD relevant levels
At the moment the pair is retreating 0.46% at 1.2487 with the initial support at 1.2439 (low Nov.3) ahead of 1.2431 (low Aug.22 2013) and finally 1.2342 (low Aug.21 2013). On the upside, a break above 1.2605 (Tenkan Sen) would aim for 1.2614 (low Oct.23) and then 1.2617 (high Oct.31).
