EUR/USD Analysis
Concern about the Italian debt increases the pressure on the euro. The pair fell to the 1.1565 level during yesterday's trading session and settled around 1.1588. Trades are within a tight range since the beginning of this week in anticipation of ECB monetary policy decisions and Draghi's comments on Thursday, as well as the release of US inflation data. The US dollar is still supported by the Federal Reserve policy supporting further interest rate increases and the escalation US-China trade war.
Technically, the pair needs to break above1.1665 and 1.1736 levels for a stronger bounce back higher. Any move towards the 1.1500 psychological support level will give the downside a new momentum.
There is nothing important due today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be the release of PPI data and crude oil inventories.
