What’s the sentiment around the EUR/USD today? – Commerzbank and OCBC Bank
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The EUR/USD keeps the bid tone in the mid-1.3800s on Wednesday, after EMU’s inflation figures came in line with market expectations.
“EUR/USD’s slow grind lower has we suspect terminated circa 1.3790 and beyond this we remain unable to rule out another upside stab. Currently we must allow for further strength towards 1.3967 and 1.4000, but that is the maximum we would expect to see prior to failure”, observed Karen Jones, Head of FICC Technical Analysis at Commerzbank.
In addition, Emmanuel Ng, Currency Strategist at OCBC Bank, commented, “we expect the common currency to continue to flail against the USD as well as on the crosses, with EURUSD already at the gates of 1.3800 support. A breach of this level may light the way towards the 55-d MA (1.3752)”.
