On yesterday session the EURUSD fell with a high range and closed in the red, near the low of the day, in addition managed to close below previous day low, suggesting a continuation of the strong bearish momentum.
The pair closed for the first time below 50-day moving average that is now acting as a dynamic resistance.
The key levels to watch are: the 10-day moving average at 1.08768 (resistance), the 1.0819 (resistance), the 50-day moving average at 1.0800 (resistance), a Fibonacci extension at 1.0703 (support) and a daily support at 1.0622.
EUR/USD Plunges to One-Month Low as Core Inflation Slows for Second Consecutive Month In a surprise move, the EUR/USD sold-off sharply on Tuesday, hitting a one-month low of $1.071, or about 1 percent. The sell-off came as a surprise because the Euro tends to perform better against the U.S. Dollar during periods of investor uncertainty when the stock market is trending lower. This typically occurs because the low yields in the Euro Zone have made the Euro a funding currency.
Today’s buying is likely related to the favorable U.S. interest differential which shows the U.S. 2-Year Treasury Notes trading about 1 percent higher than its European counter-part. Technical factors may have also contributed to the weakness since the recent month-long short-covering rally seems to have lost momentum when buyers failed to drive the EUR/USD over $1.1000.
In other news, Spanish Unemployment Change came in at -55.8K, better than the -52.6K estimate. The German Unemployment Change at -14K also bested its -7K estimate.
Euro Zone CPI Flash Estimate was 0.2%, lower than the 0.4% estimate. Core CPI Flash Estimate was 0.9%, below the 1.0% estimate. The data showed that the Euro Zone Core Inflation slowed for the second consecutive month in December. This also helped pressure the EUR/USD because it reinforced the possibility that the European Central Bank will have to add further stimulus to prop up consumer prices and boost growth.
The GBP/USD lost ground on Monday despite a stronger than expected Construction PMI report. The latest figure came in at 57.8, better than the 56.1 estimate. The British Pound has been under pressure lately as investors continue to push forward the timing of the next Bank of England interest rate hike. Additionally, investors are paring positions due to the uncertainty of the referendum later this year that will decide whether the U.K. remains a member of the European Union.
