EUR/USD optimistic near 1.1350
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The common currency extends its good performance on Friday, now lifting EUR/USD to the mid-1.1300s.
EUR/USD bolstered by risk
The sentiment towards the risk appetite seems to have resumed today, allowing the current rebound in spot to the area of 1.1340/50. In the meantime, the pair remains poised to meander within month-end flows and the risk trends, with sellers so far clustered in the low-1.1400s. Data wise, the estimated GDP figures in Spain surprised to the upside, showing and expansion of 2.0% during the fourth quarter 2014 and 0.7% QoQ; on the other direction, Spanish consumer prices gauged by the HICP contracted at an annual pace of 1.5%, matching consensus and down from -1.1% previous.
Ahead in the session, the more relevant EMU’s flash CPI and US GDP Annualized during Q4 are also due.
EUR/USD levels to consider
As of writing the pair is up 0.15% at 1.1342 and a break above 1.1368 (high Jan.28) would open the door to 1.1380 (200-h MA) and finally 1.1384 (high Jan.28). On the other hand, the next support lies at 1.1303 (100-h MA) followed by 1.1262 (low Jan.29) and then 1.1261 (50% of 1.1098-1.1423).
