The EUR/USD is currently showing pivotal price action around 1.13.
EUR/USD Technical Analysis
Looking at the EUR/USD 60 minutes chart above, we note that the currency pair is now heading towards the lower end of it’s recent range. As the optimism from the G20 gives way to business as usual, the market will now seek to determine the next course of direction.
The yellow lines are possible regions of support and resistance. Do be mindful that price action in shorter time frames are often sentimental in nature. A decisive breach of the lower range will open up 1.12 while a bullish return will seek to pivot towards the upside of 1.13.
US Economic Data Mixed
While the ISM Manufacturing PMI came in better than expected, a look at the bigger picture will yield the fact that it is the lowest ever in recent years. As the Purchasing Managers’ Index is a survey of purchasing managers and is important as the sentiment of purchasing managers is a leading indicator of economic health, a low may come across as an indication of an economic challenge.
US Non Farm Payroll Ahead
The ADP Non-Farm Employment Change came in weaker than expected. ADP’s statistics is based on the payroll data of approximately 400,000 U.S. business clients. Therefore it is viewed by many as a possible early indication of the US Non-Farm Payroll result. Employment is a fundamental component of the economy as it leads to consumer spending and hence retail sales. A low unemployment rate is an indicator of a healthy functioning economy. Therefore the US Non-Farm Payroll this Friday will be closely monitored.
The Next ECB President
It is reported that IMF’s Christine Lagarde will likely replace Mario Draghi. Speculations are that she will probably continue the general direction of the current leadership which is a loose monetary policy to sustain the euro’s economy. If indeed, with the quantitative easing pressure on the currency, we may see a period of weak euro currency outlook.
Still to Come
Many important economic events are still to come and it will be even more critical now for us to assess each with the understanding of whether risk appetite has increased or decreased. The US is on holiday for the 4th of July and hence do be mindful of possible low liquidity conditions.
