EUR/USD in highs near 1.1050
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The shared currency keeps pushing higher on Tuesday, now lifting EUR/USD to multi-day tops in the mid-1.1000s.
EUR/USD stronger on USD-selling
The positive start in the US Dollar following the move by the PBoC has been reverted after the opening bell in Europe today, allowing a rebound in the pair from the area of 1.0960 to current daily peaks near 1.1050. The dollar, in the meantime, continues to suffer yesterday’s comments by D.Lockhart and Fischer, who showed no (apparent) rush in hiking rates in September.
Next of relevance for the pair will be the ZEW Survey in Germany and the euro area, expected to show some improvements for the current month. Across the Atlantic, the NFIB index, Nonfarm Productivity and Capacity Utilization are all due later.
EUR/USD key levels
As of writing the pair is advancing 0.24% at 1.1045 with the next hurdle at 1.1080 (high Jul.29) ahead of 1.1113 (high Jul.31) and then 1.1129 (high Jul.27). On the downside, a break below 1.0961 (low Aug.11) would target 1.0855 (low Aug.7) en route to 1.0848 (low Aug.5).
