EUR/USD looks to jobless claims, central bank speakers
EUR/USD is trades mildly higher after a flat finish yesterday. The US dollar slipped from a 16 month high as investors booked profits and awaited fresh guidance from the Fed.
The Euro was also under pressure after Core CPI was downwardly revised to 2% from 2.1% taking pressure off the already more dovish ECB to tighten monetary policy.
Today the economic calendar is a little quiet. US jobless claims are expected to fall to a fresh post pandemic low of 260k.
Plenty of ECB and Fed speakers will be hitting the airwaves, shedding light on the direction of monetary policy and potentially the growing diversion between the two central banks.
Where next for EUR/USD?
EUR/USD has seen a dramatic drop over the past week. A support level reached yesterday at 1.1291 appears to be holding as the prices edges higher and the RSI moves out of oversold territory.
Any meaningful recovery would need to retake 1.1353 the 20 sma in order to approach 1.14 round number and 1.1450 the 50 sma and weekly high. Above here the buyers could gain traction.
Meanwhile a break below 1.1290 and 1.1263 yesterday’s low could open the door to 1.1240 April 2019 high.
