Hovering around 1.11, Supported by gains in Shanghai Composite
The spot gyrates 1.11 handle ahead of the European session. The latest uptick appears to have been triggered by a spike in the Shanghai Composite index, which now trades higher by more than 3%. The risk sentiment appears to have recovered on account of the gains in Chinese stocks, which is also evident from the uptick in the USD/JPY pair.
It remains to be seen if the pair manages to sustain above 1.11. The Euroland economic calendar is empty with just trade balance figures due for release. Consequently, the pair is at the mercy of the overall market sentiment.
